Littlehampton,*!? 21 September 1878 

Dear Moor, 

I return Kaub’s letter herewith. Hirsch would appear to have 
taken literally Mesa’s assurance that, as a German, he would be 

a Engels’ London address 

invulnerable in Paris. Now he’s likely to pay for it with a spell in 
jug, for they'll remand him in custody for as long as they can.*” 

Barry’s adventures really are killing.* 

I, too, saw Levy’s brilliant article at a pub where I went to 
shelter from the rain. The paper‘ is worthy of the man. 

It is high time there was a change in Constantinople, otherwise 
the numerous provincial insurrections will bring about a state of 
affairs conducive to the collapse of European Turkey—i.e. exactly 
what Bismarck and the Russians want so as to fish in troubled 
waters and not implement the Treaty of Berlin.**° Midhat’s return 
to Crete and a bold coup on his part could give a different turn to 
things. If the present state of affairs continues, the Russians will 
stay there and the renewed prospects of plunder this will give 
them might also stem the natural course of things inside Russia 
itself. 

We are just off to spend a couple of hours in Brighton. 

Your 
F. E.
