{London,] 24 February 1869 

Dear Frep, 

Best THANKs for the report.” It is transparently clear. I have 

changed nothing, except to strike out the final sentence (or rather 
some words of it). Yesterday read out in the Central Council.” 
Adopted. Will be sent first to The Times (or rather taken there by 
Eccarius). If they don’t take it, then to The Daily News. Then the 
English press cutting will be sent to Zukunft, Social-Demokrat and 
Wilhelm.* The poor prvis of Lugau will have the great satisfaction of 
being mentioned in the English press. 

Enclosed resolutions, etc., 6 in all. The circumstances are as 
follows. The resolution of the Congress (Brussels) '** obliged us to 
have the Brussels resolutions printed.” Using the excuse that the 
Geneva resolutions form part of the platform, we have printed, at 
the same time, part of what was tabled at the Geneva congress” 
by the London Central Council and adopted by the Geneva 

a ie., to Demokratisches Wochenblatt -° The International Working Men’s Association. 
Resolutions of the Congress of Geneva, 1866, and the Congress of Brussels, 1868 

congress, omitting the amendments, etc., proposed by the French 
in Geneva and also adopted—rubbishy stuff. Thus, this portion is 
written by me. On the other hand, I had no part in drafting the 
1868 reso.utions. The only phrase from me verbatim is the First 
CONSIDERING ‘ON THE EFFECTS OF MACHINERY.” 

That Bakunin should lay claim to the ‘Slav’ brothers in 
Courland and Livonia is great. Neither are his czars on Silesia 
bad.> 

What about Foster, Excuances?‘ 

Meissner is a fine fellow; I sent him, a few days before your visit 
to London,” a copy of Louis Bonaparte.’ Asked for immediate 
notification.“* No word yet. 

Wilhelm remains unchangeably the same. He wrote to me that 
he had sent 50 or 60 copies* to Kugelmann, but Kugelmann in 
fact has received only 6 copies! 

Salut. 
Your 
K. M.
