| 6. Sept. ’71.
Dear Sir,
I
see
From
your letter
I see
that you are not only “alarmed”, but
gxxxx
xxx
(?)
have also
grown suspicious,
as t
o
(?)
since
you
have changed
tuned down
your
usual address to me of
from
“My dear Sir”
into
to
“Dear Sir”.
For my own part I consider
the feeling of “alarm” not
one
one
peculiarly adapted to lend
lead from the
foundation
(?)
of to
a
scientific and objective
judgement
point de vue
.
I regret not being able to
fulfil your wish. I have
asked
every of
(?)
//
gone through
the whole round of my Continental friends but found no one in possession of some
of the numerous
extracts
reviews
and extracts
of my book that have appe
a
red in Italian
and French. The French edition
in extenso
has been
presented
cut short by the
Prussian
war. Neither translation nor review has appe
a
red in English. Two years
since my friend F. Engels sent a very
accurate
analysis of
the
| “Das Kapital” to the
Fortnightly
, but it was
returned
th
with the remark that “it was too
scientific for the English Review-reader”.
I do not know of what
manifestoes
you speak. Save the address on
“the Civil War
in
France
”
and
the
Mr. Washburne
, which
I had the honour to send you, the general Council has,
published to
since September 1870,
published no manifesto
except
th
those on the Franco-Prussian war
which I
send you
hereby forward
. Apart
[from]
the manifestoes, published
by the French and Prussian Police in the name of the
International
,
and
which I have declared to be forgeries in
“La Vérité”
(
Paris
)
, no
ne
(?)
manifesto
has besides
been
[been]
published in the
latter
times. The so
[-]
called
swiss
manifesto
of
//
, printed in the
Times
, is,
as the
Examiner
of last Saturday justly
remarked, “a garbled translation of a French version, itself far from
accurate ... It issues, not from the
Int
ernational
W
orkingmen’
s
Ass
ociation
, but from some 
| of
its Swiss members”
.
Yours faithfully
K. M.
