London, 21 [March] 1872 

Dear Citizen, 

I wrote to you on the 13th of this month* and later received 
your letter of the 10th. Péchard was told in Turin*' that you had 
been expelled from the Emancipation of the Proletarian society for 
various reasons: that you refused to hand over a certain sum 
belonging to the Society as well as the 200 stamps which I sent 
you, etc., etc. 

When such accusations are made, it is absolutely essential that 
the General Council should know whether or not they are true, 
before it can declare itself for one side or the other. I should be 
grateful, therefore, if you would tell me what is going on, because 

a K. Marx, ‘Resolutions on the Split in the United States’ Federation Passed by the 
General Council of the I.W.A. in Its Sittings of 5th and 12th March, 1872’. 

it is certain that such matters cannot be passed over in silence. 

As for the contribution of 150 frs,* this money did not belong to 
the General Council but to a private Committee formed to collect 
funds with which to support the friendly press and other 
international causes, and since your sudden and _ enthusiastic 
declaration in favour of the Jura was such as to lead the 
Committee to believe that you had taken sides in a cause whose 
very foundations were necessarily unknown to you, the money was 
immediately spent on another purpose, and there are no more 
funds available at present. 

I have not received Il Proletario, which you promised to send me 
regularly, for the last 6 weeks. 

We have changed the address of the Council meetings. I cannot 
at present give you another personal address, but I believe the one 
you have, C. R.,” 122 Regent’s Park Road, is still better than that 
of the General Council. 

I think Savio is no longer in London but has gone to work in 
the provinces.*? 

Greetings and emancipation.
