Dear Sir, 

Your letter to Mr Eccarius, d.d. 3 curt. has been duly 
communicated by him to the General Council of the International 
Working Men’s Association. He has been reappointed as our 
corresponding Secretary for America, but is at present too ill to 
fulfil his functions. 

The General Council] has appointed Mr S. Meyer and Mr 
August Vogt as its German-American correspondents and Mr 
Pelletier as its French-American correspondent. I beg to recom- 
mend you these citizens. 

The General Council being itself yearly elected by the General 
Congress, it is self-understood that all its nominations can only be 
valid for the current year, if they be not renewed. 

Yours fraternally
