instructed Meissner to send you the whole-volume edition post-free, 
which is due out in about a week. You would oblige me by 
letting me know when it comes. 

Engels asks you to forward the enclosed letter to Goegg* 
soon as possible. It is to do with some information about the 
Alliance (we are at present engaged in assembling documentary 
evidence with which to demolish them’). Might I also ask you to 
send us, if at all possible, the first programme of the public Alliance in 
Geneva,” in which your name appeared among others. 

We thought that the Egalité of Geneva must have folded up as 
we had not seen a copy since Outine’s departure from Geneva. At 
his request I had induced some French friends to become 
correspondents for it, but our belief in its demise put a stop to 
everything. So if Perret wishes for reports from here, he must 
make sure that Engels (122 Regent's Park Road) and myself each 
receive a copy. We shall pay for it if he so desires. 

The General Council will likely decide on Geneva as the venue 
for the next Congress.°” You must even now start working to 
ensure a large attendance. This is all the more indispensable as the 
Alliancist band of rogues is planning to turn up en masse. Of 
course, they must not be allowed in. The Hague Congress **° must 
have brought us at least the one advantage that the rabble will be 
removed from our midst. But for that it is essential for us to have 
completely reliable local representatives at our disposal., 

With best wishes from the whole family.
