Manchester, 3 August 1869 

Dear Moor, 

Enclosed, returned, Wilhelm and Bebel* and, in addition, a 

draft on the Union Bank or London for £100, with which I hope the 
debts are done with for ever. 

Since, as Tussy tells me, Jenny has September free too, you can 
of course postpone your journey until that month. I always 
thought that, because of Jenny, you were limited to only four 
weeks during which you had to travel. 

The row between Schweitzer and the Leipzig people is getting 
jolly. The accusations that Bebel has been bribed by the Guelphs, 
and the threat of the Schweitzerians that they will impose their 
victory upon the congress by muscle power, point to a fine show. 

How stupid it was of Wilhelm to allow Goegg to be co-signatory 
of his congress manifesto, and thus expose himself to the attacks 
of the Social-Demokrat’ But Wilhelm simply can’t get along 
without his philistine republicans. 

My documents should now be signed today week, if the lawyers 
are ready. I shall certainly not get away before Wednesday, 11th 
inst. In any case I shall see you in London on the way there or back. 

Best greetings to all. 

Your 
F. E. 

a Who goes slowly goes surely. 

So far I have watched in vain for the announcement of the 18th 
Brumaire.
