London, 27 September 1892 

Dear Victor, 

Barely had my (registered) letter gone off yesterday * than a mes- 
senger arrived from the Crédit Lyonnais °°! and handed me the £15 
in question in settlement of my loan. Receipt of this is hereby grate- 
fully acknowledged. 

The Marseilles Trades Unions (syndicats) Congress,°?° which pre- 
ceded the one held by the Workers’ Party,°°* resolved not to send dele- 
gates to the Eight Hours’ Congress in Glasgow °#° convoked by the 
TRADES UNIONS, but instead to invite the Trades unions to Zurich. Lafargue 
writes to say that the party congress will pass a similar resolution. 
Were your trades unions to make a pronouncement along the same 
lines, it would create an impression over here. In the eyes of the bump- 
tious gentlemen of the o/d rrapes untons, resolutions adopted by fo- 
litecal working men’s congresses don’t count! 

Regards from Louise to your wife‘ and children and yourself, and 
likewise from 

Your 
F.E.
