Manchester, 6 March 1865 

Dear Moor, 

Yours of the day before yesterday received, as was the 
Social-Demokrat today containing that droll article excommunicat- 
ing us.’ It really makes one laugh. 

I have been at home with ‘flu most of today, but I shall go and 
see the lawyer about the Lupus affair as soon as_ possible. 
Everything will be straight as soon as the fellow completes; 
Borchardt has been paid his £100 (i. e. less the money he has 
already had), and the Schiller Institute* its £100, too; further- 
more, I gave the lawyer approx. £150 to cover tax and am only 
waiting for his account now before remitting the rest to you 
directly. I shall put together a provisional balance sheet for you in 
a day or two so that you can see how things stand. 

Things from Siebel and a certain Lange enclosed.* Qu’en 
penses-tu? Send the stuff back, as well as the letter from Meissner, 
which I must have for my correspondence with him. I am sending 
him the cuttings for him to see that we have also got people to 
push things along. 

The Koélnische Zeitung has also printed our statement,° but only 
up to the words that the Social-Demokrat’ tactics preclude our 
further participation in it. 

Bruhn returned enclosed. How THe HELL CAME YOU TO OWE THAT FELLOW 
any Brass?“ However much it is, I shall send it to: you at once.

‘To the Editor of the Social-Demokrat’. - 4 See this volume, pp. 117-19. 

2 copies of the pamphlet* despatched herewith. They are the last 
ones. But J have ordered some more. There is an announcement 
about the pamphlet in the Kélner Zeitung? 

What kind of ‘papers from the Manchester press relating to the 
cotton-crisis) are you talking about? Surely you mean from the 
Rewizr Committee“? I have not seen Maclure for some time; as soon 
as I encounter him, I shall have a word with him about it. 

Gumpert does not think much of Kugelmann’s phosphate of 
lime. At all events, it is not a specific remedy. He says you ought 
to take arsenic. Returned enclosed. 

I must now go to the Schiller Institute to chair the Comité By 
the by, one of the fellows there, a chemist,“ has recently 
explained Tyndall’s experiment with sunlight‘ to me. It is really 
capital. 

Your 
F. E.
