London, 23 September 1868 

Dear FRrep, 

From the enclosed you will see that Liebknecht wants to get rid 
of Schweitzer through me, just as Schweitzer wants to get rid of 
Liebknecht.' I have replied to Wilhelm **: No overhastiness! If he 
acts with tact, Schweitzer will himself settle Down TO MORE MODERATE 
‘proportions or ruin himself. The dissolution of the General 
Association of German Workers’ brings Lassalleanism qua* such 
to a forcible end, although it still may carry on for some TIME A 
LINGERING SECT LIFE. 

I enclose Schweitzer’s report in the Social-Demokrat on the 
catastrophe.” 

I completely share your view that the Spanish revolution (it has 
the same significance as the Neapolitan revolution of 18481) 
gives a new turn to European history and, in particular, like a deus 
ex machina, cuts the Gordian knot of the repulsive German-French 
war. 

Strohn has just arrived from the continent. So, more next time. 

Your 
Moor 

The Times paid Eccarius 2 '/, Guineas per column, sang hymns of 
praise to him, and made him advantageous proposals. Send 
Wilhelm‘ back to me.
