Manchester, 12 September 1867 

Dear Moor, 

You have not enclosed letter No. 2 from Lessner.*” If Lafargue 
does come, I would much appreciate it if you came too,‘ as I do 
not rightly know how to entertain our comrade during my 
business hours. If possible, you should come straight away 
tomorrow, or at least on the morning of the day after, so that we 
can be together on Saturday and Sunday, and I can also more 

a of the League of Peace and Freedom - > See this volume, p. 420. - ¢ ibid., 
p. 424. 

easily take some French leave on Monday. But write or telegraph 
beforehand, so that I can arrange lodging (telegraph the office, 
except Saturday after 11.0.a.m. and Sunday). 

£5 enclosed to help with money-matters; apart from the cost of 
travelling here, you can leave it at home for your wife. 

Here, too, the press is treating the International much more 
decently than before. All the newspapers here have carried some 
part of the proceedings,’ the Examiner & Times? had a philistinish- 
ly benevolent Leaner. 

Would it not be appropriate also to report on the meetings of 
the Centra Counc. in the German newspapers? e.g., the Zukunft; 
Wilhelmchen‘ might perhaps find somewhere else, too. Where 
actually is the noble fellow now? 

The Lassalleans are beset by a fresh shindig again. Dr Reincke 
in Hagen and Schweitzer are at paccers prawn. Reincke went along 
with the party-of-Progress clique’—Birgers and E. Richter —to 
ensure his election in Hagen, Düsseldorf and Solingen, but failed in 
the two latter. 

We really must try to establish a direct link with the workers in 
Germany again, that is what we most lack, otherwise everything is 
buoyant enough. 

I read of the betrothal of Kdthe’ as she calls herself, in the 
Kolnische Zeitung. 

You will have to give me a verbal account of the congress 
telegrams from Germany. 

The Courriers’ returned herewith. Apropos of the vote in 
Schleswig, it is splendid how those jackasses declared: avons une 
carte devant nous; which shows Holstein within Schleswig (or 
vice versa)! Likewise, they first have the Federal troops and then the 
Dutch (instead of the Luxemburgers themselves) marching into 
Luxemburg. And it is they who want to abolish ignorance! 

Your 
F. E.
