{Manchester, about 14 August 1868] 

Dear Moor, 

I shall send you money tomorrow, our cashier had no more 
notes this afternoon. Do not feel awkward about ‘pressing’, I only 
wish there were more there to be pressed out; but bear in mind as 
well that in 6 weeks we shall have to pay the £150 with interest, 
and Borkheim says that the interest will bring the total up to 165! 
I think you will have to make up your mind to go to Holland; we 
cannot ‘afford’ to borrow at such interest. 

Faucher made me laugh very much. Absolutely the noble 
arrogance of this fellow. The patronising introduction and then 
criticism (and what criticism!) of a very elementary thing in which 
you present the views of the economists, thus only make a resumé; 
he wisely keeps his fingers off your own things. Also very good is 
his admission that the present generation, including Faucher, 
knows nothing of either Jacob or Joseph, thus confirming your 
opinion that they ‘really have learned nothing’. Incidentally, the 
impudence of the fellow is comic. He really assumes that his public 
knows nothing, will learn nothing, and even wishes to read 
nothing except such Faucherist piss. And the man is right about it. 

Best greetings. 

Your 
F. E.
