ENGELS TO PAUL LAFARGUE” 

AT LE PERREUX 

London, 25 May 1889 

My dear Lafargue, 

From a letter written by Guesde to Bonnier I learn that the 
Convocation with the foreign signatures** has gone to the printers. You 
may add: 

K. Cunninghame-Graham, English Member of Parliament, and, 
unless you hear to the contrary by telegram on Monday, also 

W. Parnell 
delegates to the 1888 London congress.°° 

Tom Mann 

The latter have not given their official assent. Bernstein saw them this 
morning, as also Graham and Burns, when the latter declared his inten- 
tion of disassociating himself entirely from the Social Democratic 
Federation, saying that he is sick and tired of the underhand methods 
of Hyndman, who has ruined the Federation, that the circulation of 
Justice has dropped from 4,000 to 1,400 etc. Although elected to the 
Possibilist congress by his branch, he is going to support our line. How 
he can best set about doing so is still under discussion. 

Send a copy of the Convocation as soon as possible. 

Yours ever, 
FE.
