Manchester, 25 February 1869 
Dear Moor, 

I have just sent Borkheim a cheque for £162.10, of which £100 is 
to pay off his advance and £62.10 is for you, which makes, 
together with the £25 brought to you, the sum of £87.10=1/4 of 
£350. At the beginning of March, or as soon as I possibly can in 

a K. Marx, Draft Resolution on the Consequences of Using Machinery under Capitalism 
Proposed by the General Council to the Brussels Congress (see present edition, Vol. 21, 
p. 9). - > See this volume, p. 219. -¢ J. L. Foster, An Essay on the Principle of 
Commercial Exchanges... (see also this volume, p. 215). - 4 K. Marx, The Eighteenth 
Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte - ¢ K. Marx, Herr Vogt 

March, you will get a further £87.10, then again at the beginning 
of July, etc. 

I hope the English press will take the report,’ but I am firmly 
convinced that it will not, and that, in the last resort, only The 
Bee-Hive will remain. At best the fellows will make huge cuts. 

I have not yet read the resolutions.*”° But at first glance one is 
surprised that the 1867 Lausanne resolutions are not reprinted 
also. 

NB. about the money: I only had the choice of sending it 
through Borkheim or else in some other way, which would cause 
gossip here in the office; I preferred the lesser evil. In future this 
will naturally not happen again. 

The final sentence in the report* was, of course, aimed only at 
Liebknecht’s sheet” and the public. 

Foster on Excuances is being sent to you today by Grose Parcer 
Express, since the bookpost is not certain enough for an irreplaceable 
book. If you have not received it by Saturday‘ morning, you must 
immediately complain to Grose Parcet Express, 150 Cheapside or 
150 Leadenhall] Srreer. Best you should return it the same way. 
Even by mai. Train, the Grose is much the cheapest way to send 
larger consignments of books. 

Regarding the copies, I would immediately haul Wilhelm over 
the coals, and categorically demand information. The same with 
Meissner. The fellow has obviously had second thoughts, but since 
Eichhoff is ready to print, he must decide oui ou non.* 

Nothing but rain here. 

Apropos, I have written to Borkheim about Bakunin™ that he 
should raise the question as to whether it is in any way possible for 
us Westerners to cooperate with this Pan-Slav pack while the 
fellows preach their Slav supremacy; he will probably read this to 
you tomorrow *85 when you collect the money—but, in addition, I 
told him he should discuss the matter with you. 

Best greetings to the household. 

Your 
F. E.
