[London, after 16 April 1885] 

Dear Ede, 

Thanks. Letter from August”: the parliamentary group, whose au- 
thority August contested, resolved unanimously after a 3 days’ debate 

@ And here - August Bebel 

that the personal controversy be dropped and the non-personal be 
postponed until after the Reichstag sitting, and with this August con- 
curred. 78° So the news of a defeat was false; we have won all along 
the line. 

Your 
F.E.
