{London, 24 November 1864] 

Dear Frederick, 

Letter from the old Hatzfeldt woman enclosed, which I would 
like sent back by return.” 

Also enclosed the letter from the man in Solingen” which has 
turned up again, and Schweitzer’s letter. 

a Moses Hess - > See this volume, p. 15. 

I sent off 3 ‘Addresses’? to you today, 1 for yourself, 1 for 
Gumpert and 1 for Ernest Jones. If you can distribute some more 
anywhere (gratis), you only have to ask. 

As for Schweitzer, I have written—not to him but to Liebk- 
necht—that we both dislike the company, but we intend for a nonce 
to adopt bonne mine a mauvais jeu, but to disown them immediately 
as soon as they do anything silly. I also ask why Bucher and 
especially Rodbertus are not among them! 

Moses‘ and Herwegh (who are, incidentally, of some stature, 
compared with B. and Ph. Becker, in a Literary sense) are, after all, 
more highly regarded by people in Germany than by us. At least, 
one cannot publicly denigrate them, as one can fellows like Grün, 
etc. 

In great haste. 

Salut. 

Your 
K. M. 

I have just been obliged to write long letter to the old woman‘ 
to extricate myself from the Blind affair she has tried to involve 
me in. Student Blind has, of course, not let the opportunity slip by 
of puffing himself up, by issuing a ‘protest’ in the name of the 
Republic and selecting a few passages from Lassalle’s speeches 
which are indeed quite sickeningly royalist.“4 Also to advise her 
against reproducing the ‘wanted’ portraits of her enemies.”
