Manchester, 24 February 1865 
Dear Moor, 

I’m a bit concerned at not having heard from you today, in view 
of the furuncles and carbuncles you mentioned, in the most 
interesting places (or rather most interested). I hope you are not 
LAID UP. 

I was particularly disappointed as I hoped to get the explana- 
tion—as well as the Weydemeyer—about the unspeakable mess 
the Social-Demokrat fellows made of your speech at the London 
Workers’ Society festivity. They make you speak pure S.-D. 
Eccarius never reported that to them.'*° This piece of infamy and 
the reprint of the article from the Norddeutsche Allgemeine Zeitung 
in the following number, ostensibly about universal suffrage, about 
which it says not a word,’ is proof enough for me that the fellow? 
has simply been bought and has the job of compromising us. I 
hope the statement? is on its way. We must not delay a moment 
longer. 

But quelle béte notre ami‘ Liebknecht, who is supposed to keep an 
eye on the newspaper and never reads it on principle! 

Your 
FE: E,
