[London,] 13 May 1865 
Dear Frep, 

The £5 received with ranks. Will be invested as suggested. 

You are right about the Committee in Manchester.‘ 

Quoad‘ E. Jones, it is necessary to march with him for the time 
being. He and his people will be figuring at the next Manchester 

a And what would be the use? - > See this volume, p. 154. -¢ ibid., pp. 155,

CONFERENCE (NEXT Tusspay) together with our petecates (Odger and 
Cremer on THE PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL Association), Howell as 
secretary of the Rerorm Leacur (BRICKLAYER, ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF OUR 
Councit) and Beales and Mason Jones as bourgeois representatives 
of the same Leacur.?!” 

Without us this Rerorm Leacue would never have come into 
existence, or else it would have fallen into the hands of the 
middleclass. The glorious failure of Barnes's iui (which will result in 
@ CHANGE or Ministry and the cominc in of the Tories), originally 
SUPPORTED BY THE GOVERNMENT, WHICH WANTED SOME SUCH SMALL MEASURE FOR THE 
Hustings, occurred in the Lower House itself with direct reference 
to the ‘extravagant’ demands recently put up by the workine cass 
(LE. OUR MEN).7!? 

As Dronke wrote me, Reinach I, who is now manacinc Director of 
the Bank or Swirzeranp, will be ruthlessly putting an end to the 
Orrice in London, which is causing nothing but expenses. Reinach I 
is, of course, not bound by the same political and personal 
considerations as Fazy!? and Klapka were. 

A ghastly carbuncle has broken out again on my left hip, near 
the INEXPRESSIBLE PART OF THE BODY. 

Regards to Mrs Lizzy.’ 

Salut. Your 

K. M. 

Apropos. Monsieur Le Lubez, who had miscalculated about how 
important and dangerous he is, wants Now To RETURN TO THE CENTRAL 
Council IN THE CAPACITY OF A REPRESENTATIVE ‘FoR Greenwicy’! We replied 
that d’abord’ we had to wait for certain letters to come, which he 
had written to France at the time of the conruct.?! 

I hardly think the Social-Demokrat will see out another quarter. 
Moses* believed himself safely ensconced and didn’t want to give 
up his prestigious position as Lassalle’s really secret agent at any 
price.”"” Le pauvre diable!* 

Lassalle’s will is now proven. He has left nothing to B. Becker 
apart from his ‘nomination’, accompanied by rules of conduct 
dictated ‘with all severity and authority’.
