IN PARIS 6: 

London, 3 April 1878 

122 Regent’s Park Road, N. W. 

Dear Hirsch, 

Would you be so kind as to forward the enclosed note* to 
Lopatin? We don’t know whether the old address we have for him 
still holds good.” It has to do with an article for Bracke’s Kalender 
on the condemned Russians.*°—The Egalité hasn’t been arriving 
for some time past; I hope nothing has happened to it. With the 
suspension of the Bulletin jurassien for want of money, the 
Bakuninists’ swaggering has come to an inglorious end. It’s 
encouraging to see the movement growing so powerful that it can 
sweep aside every one of these rubbishy factions without undue 
difficulty. As soon as I have a complete set of them here I shall 
send you some articles of mine on the movement in 1877,° which 
have appeared in the New York Labor Standard. As regards 
Dihring, I’ve all but finished now. No doubt you will shortly see 
something more about his ‘socialism’ in the Vorwarts.© This worthy 
man has cost me an atrocious amount of time, but unfortunately 
there was no [alternative], it being a case of all or nothing. 
Precious chaps, these anarchists! That great enemy of the state, 
Adhémar Schwitzguébel, Guillaume’s right-hand man, who would 
rather chop off his own hand than place a voting-paper in a ballot 
box, is an officer dans l’armée fédérale'! as the Bulletin jurassien 
itself declares. Kindest regards to all our friends, especially Kaub 
and Mesa. 

Yours very sincerely, 

F. E.
