MARX TO WILHELM BRACKE*”? 

[London, 24 March 1870] 
Dear Friend, 

Yesterday* J] send you 3,000 carps or Membership addressed to von 
Bonhorsto” 

I have information for you, which ts not uninteresting, about 
the internal affairs of the Internationals. This will reach you by an 
indirect route. In accordance with the Rules, all national 
committees in contact with the General Council must send it 
three-monthly reports on the situation of the movement. When I 
remind you of this, I would ask you to consider that this report is 
not written for the public, and should, therefore, present the facts 
completely factually, without make-up. 

From Borkheim and from the latest letter from Bonhorst I 
know that the finances of the Eisenachers are in a bad state.**! As 
a consolation, the information that the finances of the General 
Council are below zero, steadily growing negative dimensions.
