Manchester, 2 October 1868 

Dear Moor, 

Borkheim has done his business excellently. At the end of last 
month the sum of £72 was due for wine which Charles,” Gumpert 
and I had received from him. It was only at the beginning of this 
month, however, that I could lay my hands on the cash. So I sent 
it to him yesterday and asked whether he knew how to raise £100 
for you or whether he could leave the wine unpaid until February. 
He agreed to the latter and advanced the other £28 himself. So 
we have, I think, peace and quiet at least for the immediate 
future. 

But now you must get on with the 2nd volume,’ 
liver some exercise. 

The Spanish business has gone brilliantly so far. The ‘dynasty’ 
had already been wrecked in the vagina of the Innocent Lady.‘ So 
the minimum consequence: a change in dynasty and an elected 
king, plus a constituent assembly. All very nice things, even in 
themselves, on Mr Bonaparte’s frontier. It may get better yet. 

Schweitzeriana* back this evening, forgotten yesterday by 
mistake. His manner of establishing a few nice little posts for life 
for himself and Fritzsche is priceless. But the whole story is 
impracticable. In the ‘Union’ 3 independent powers of different 
origin! 1. The committee, elected by the trades. 2. The presidium, 
elected by a general vote. 3. The congress, elected by the local 
organisations. This means collisions everywhere, and that is

supposed to make for ‘rapid action’. To be sure, the elti du suffrage 
universel,, as everybody’s trusted agent, is in the best position. 
Childish of Lassalle to have taken over these idiocies from the 
French Constitution,'*’ and of Schweitzer to treat them as eternal 
models to be used everywhere.” However it may be, the whole 
business will get nowhere so long as only the Lassalleans are in it, 
and as soon as others participate, too, the stuff will come to an 
end. 
Have to catch the last post.
