IN MOUNT DESERT”6 

[London], 30 July 1890 

Schorlemmer and J are home again after our very delightful and very inter- 
esting trip to North Cape and Norway generally and, as from Sunday, I 
shall be able to start sending stuff to you again and make up for arrears. 
Morgan? received with many thanks, the more so as Ely’s intervention was 
avoided. It is always disagreeable to be beholden to an intermediary. The 
relevant letters? have likewise come back and been destroyed.

The People’s Press is also likely to go under in a fortnight’s time. It 
was an attempt by the Fabians!”6 to insinuate themselves into the lead- 
ership of the movement—at the same time there was much good will 
but to an even greater extent a lack of journalistic and business experi- 
ence on the part of the 2 men actually running it,* with the result that 
the whole thing has got into a muddle. There’ll be an unpleasant hiatus 
but it will, I trust, lead to the founding of an organ representative of the 
new unions. 

Those two battles in Leeds were magnificent.°”” It was splendid news 
to be greeted with on our return. 

There is also a social democratic organisation in Bergen, but we had 
neither the time nor the occasion to look it up; I merely saw in the news- 
papers that it had its own premises and had applied for a licence to sell 
beer. 

Our trip has done us a power of good. Tussy and Edward are them- 
selves off to Norway next week. Regards from Schorlemmer and 

Your 
FE. 

Also and especially to your wife.
