Dear Frederick, 

You will find enclosed: 

|. Letter from Massol to me. The man upon whom he exerts 
influence is Proudhon, and the book which he regards as the 
happy (!) fruit of that influence is the latter’s most recent book on 
Louis Bonaparte.* I shall be writing about this in one of my next 
letters. 

2. Cluss’ letter, an excerpt from which you have already had.? 

3. A highly interesting letter from Jakob Huzel about Godo- 
fredus.'*° 

4. A scribble by Goegg in the Schweizerische National-Zeiiung. 

5. and 6. “Draft of a treaty of union’ between Kinkel, Willich 
and Goegg. A circular letter from the first-named gentlemen to 
their American committees and guarantors.” 

The whole is a cry of distress from Kinkel-Willich. They wish 
1. to remove the inflexible Reichenbach from the proximity of the 
Holy Grail '!** so that they may use the funds ‘with thé utmost 
dispatch’. , a 

2. Now that Kinkel no longer has an army behind him he wants 
to join the so-called Revolutionary League with £1,000 behind 
him, expecting the said League to show its gratitude by electing 
him to its highest committee. 

3. Willich, hard-pressed and in an untenable position, wants to 
go to America once he has, as he puts it, ‘solved one more 
problem’. The problem is to feather a parasitical swindler’s nest 
for himself in America by handing over the £1,000 to the 
Revolutionary League and by joining same. 

More next time. Salut! 

Your 
K. M.
