Manchester, 2 April 1869 

Dear Moor, 

I cannot write much to you today, since for some time I have 
had a chronically inflamed eye (mild), and can only do the most 
essential work. 

Lhomme propose et la femme dispose’ Yesterday evening | laid out 
for you a pile of copies of Zukunft, and also B. Becker on 
Lassalle,” but this morning the room was being swept out, so I 
forgot them. Die Zukunft, incidentally, has carried the Lugau story 
as a feature article.*”* 

Wilhelm’s stupidities exceed everything. Bebel’s cry of alarm was 
really touching.”"’ As you will see from Zukunft,“ his friends in 
Hanover, the particularists, voted in the Liineburg election against 
Yorck (Lassallean) and for the National-Liberal.1 The rabble 
are all united against the workers but this does not disturb 
Liebknecht. I look forward to the dread debate with great 
eagerness. 

About Vogt*: if I were you I would write directly to the Berlin 
Hirsch. Then you will finally reach the proper quarter. 

Lizzie is better, but does not go out yet and is on a 
strengthening diet. How is Mrs Lafargue? 

Best wishes. 

Your 
F. E.
