London, 8 December 1890 

Dear Liebknecht, 

There is more trouble in store for Brentano than he expects— Just 
you wait and see! Thanks for the note about Gladstone, but I should 
point out that I require the issues of the ‘Deutsches Wochenblatt containing 
the text of what Brentano and Gladstone actually said—the short note 
would only mislead me, and I mustn’t allow that to happen. If you 
haven’t got time to obtain them for me, ask Fischer who will certainly 
do so at once. 

Leave Brentano to me. You won’t be disappointed. But without 
this new material I can’t finish the thing off.9° 

Your 

F.E. 

Since Gladstone’s letters were dated 22 and 28 November, there 
can be no doubt about which issues of the Wochenblatt the stuff is in.
