Manchester, 1 December 1865 
Dear Moor, 

Enclosed on the new month’s account a further two five-pound 
notes, please to confirm receipt to me at 86 Mornington Street or 
if possible telegraph tomorrow early in the morning to 7 Southgate, 
as I’m not registering the letter this time because of the fuss. 

As far as I can tell from the German newspapers, Prof. Eckardt* 
is a South German democrat, one of the Swabians and Bavarians 
who seceded from the National Association.'*? It is not clear to me 
how we are supposed to collaborate with him, it’s something like

That the gentlemen from the Social-Demokrat would like to 
resume their ties with us is typical of that riff-raff. They think 
everyone is as much of a swine as they are. Bismarck seems to

army is at last expressing itself quite uninhibitedly. “Tue sovprers 
Enjoy iT. Even The Manchester Guardian has had to come out 
against the authorities in Jamaica this time. 

Regarding The Workman’s Advocate, I will see what can be done, 
meanwhile perhaps you could send the paper to me. You have no 
notion at all of the rrovste and chasing around involved here in 
obtaining these penny weekly papers Which are not worth the bother 
to the newsacents. You still do not get them even if you order and 
pay for them in advance. Or put Mrs Burns down for a 
subscription with an order for the paper to be sent here by post. 

Every good wish to Mrs and Misses.
