London, 5 December 1868 
Dear Frep, 

Enclosed: 

1. Letter from Schweitzer, 

2. Mineworkers of Lugau, 

3. Russe Serno-Solovyevich (author of the pamphlet against 
Goegg’*). 

So Schweitzer is determined to become king of the tailors in 
Germany! Good luck to him. On one point he is right— Wilhelm’s” 
incapability! His claim that the Nurembergers '*°—on pain of high 
treason—should enroll under his leadership is very coor indeed.”*° 

Wilhelm becomes stupider every day. What a lousy paper!‘ 
From the letter from Lugau**! it emerges that he has so far done 
nothing with reference to the International. At the same time, he 
plays fine tricks on us. In his ‘cosy’ way, he announces that the 
‘International Working Men’s Association’ costs nothing, so that all 
and sundry may join without paying. From Switzerland Becker 
complains about this absurdity.?* 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
