London, | April 1895 

Dear Baron, 

Postcard received. I was amazed to see today in the Vorwärts an excerpt 
from my ‘Introduction’ that had been printed without my prior knowledge 
and tricked out in such a way as to present me as a peace-loving proponent of 
legality quand même.*** Which is all the more reason why I should like it to 
appear in its entirety in the Neue Zeit in order that this disgraceful impression 
may be erased. I shall leave Liebknecht in no doubt as to what I think about it 
and the same applies to those who, irrespective of who they may be, gave 
him this opportunity of perverting my views and, what’s more, without so 
much as a word to me about it. 

Platter received with thanks. ~*' Of very minor importance, though the 
man is coming increasingly into line. If things go on like this, we soon shan’t 
be able to stir for all these professors. It is absolutely capital that J. Wolf 
should also have replied. °” I shall lay him alongside the others, together 
with Stiebeling and Loria. Sic transit gloria mundi.” 

Kindest regards from one household to the other. 

Yours 
F. E. 

We get two copies of Deutsche Worte, one for Freyberger and one for 
myself.
