[Manchester,] 16 December 1867 

Dear Moor, 

Enclosed a letter from Liebknecht, who is another great 
muddle-head. Especially over the Austrian business. Because 
Austria stands on the eve of its 1789, Liebknecht therefore praises it 
as the state of freedom! **? I have not answered him yet, but will 
do so as soon as you send the letter back. 

Have sent articles to Kugelmann 1. for the Swabian Mayer,* 2. 
for the Gewerbeblatt? Ditto to Siebel for Mannheim.‘ Further 
Swabian articles to follow. 

The piece’ has appeared in the Zukunft. I now buy the paper 
second HAND from the Schiller Institute? so that I can see it 
regularly. 

In haste. 

Your 
F. E. 

The marriage business is perfectly straightforward. THe MARRIAGE Is 
PERFORMED BEFORE THE REGISTRAR FOR THE District, who also puts up the 
BANNS at his office 14 days previously. Two or more witnesses are 
necessary. You can find out all the details at that office. For England 
nothing else is required, but as regards validity in France, Jones 
cannot tell you either, so Lafargue senior will have to ask his lawyer in 
Bordeaux. I shall, incidentally, check the code civil. 

Gumpert was married in this way. Your wife can tell her 
philistine neighbours that this way was chosen because Laura is 
protestant and Paul catholic.
