{Résumé of a letter] 
[London, around 20 April 1871) 

On 19 April the relevant extracts from Nos. 80-92 of the 
Federación about the spinners strike in Barcelona sent to Eccarius who 
was to report on it to the Manchester Trapz Counc. 

a ‘it was remitted to him in August 1859’ - > See F. Engels, ‘Outline of an Appeal of 
the General Council to the Weavers’ and Spinners’ Trade Unions of Manchester for 
Assistance to the Spanish Textile Workers Strike’. 

Wrote ditto to Mora, acknowledging receipt and reporting what 
had happened, pointing out that little help would be forthcoming 
because of the Belgian and Sunderland srrixes and the general world 
situation. . 

The loan an essential instrument and the one we have mainly 
used up to now. Therefore the Barcelonese must write a letter 
binding themselves to repay all loan-monies received through the 
agency of the General Council. This only necessary to comply with 
the formalities of the English Trape Unions. 

Promise a copy of the Address on Paris.'”*
