Manchester, 12 October 1868 

Dear Moor, 

Enclosed the Schweitzeriana returned with thanks.* I completely 
share your view on the therapy in this case. But he will scarcely be 
ready to part with ‘his own workers’ movement’. His ambitions 
exceed his strength, or, as the Italians put it, vuol petare pit alto del 
culo,” and on this inner contradiction he will work himself to 
death. 

In my view, the statutes‘ are absurd for this purpose, but it is 
immaterial in the end. 

And please do not omit the final sentence about the attack on 
the Lassallean superstition; this will be effective with the fellow, 
who is well aware that the whole stuff is Humsuc. 

I was unable to write to you while I was in town, and now it is 
nearly 8 o’clock, when the post closes out here, so I cannot add 
anything. 

The picture of Lizzie is horrible, but still the least bad after five 
sittings. 

Your 
F. E.
