First of all I do not have

but in the number of the
“Volksstaat”
(
publ

Leipzig and
edited by
Liebknecht
)
you will find
M. Bigot
will find Lefaivre’s letter and editorial remarks on
the denunciations on the part of the gou

this letter. The p
ro

secutions against Liebknecht and
Bebel
are moreover a matter of public notoriety.
In
no. 63 of the “Volksstaat” (5 August 1871) (see the passage that
I have marked) M. Bigot will see that the trial
against Liebknecht, Bebel etc.
for
preparation of High treason
is continuing and
the
Lefaivre’s letter appears

the documentary evidence.
I

Englishman, Mr.

I shall write to

to keep the things
that he has received from M. Bigot.
Fraternal greetings
