Dear Kugelmann, 

I apologise for having overlooked your request that I should at once write 
to you about Livingston, though his letter as such hardly seemed to call for 
any special reply. °° I don’t imagine that Jacobi or M. Becker will have 
anything useful. If Livingston writes to them, we shall find that out. We have 
been regularly corresponding with Sorge for many many years. 

Apart from that I am most grateful to you for your information. I, too, am 
at a loss to know how to trace anything that may have appeared 
anonymously in the Westphdlisches Dampfboot. *** It is possible that when I 
get down to work one thing or another will refresh my memory. Besides, 
should there be anything in it, it would be of little consequence and serve at 
most as proof of our lack of agreement with the Bielefeld sentimental 
socialism of the day. °”” 

Lastly, I shall doubtless have to do as you say. ””'I, too, having long been 
of the opinion that this was how we should proceed if the worst came to 

the worst. Meanwhile one thing and another continues to turn up as, recently, 
the old Rheinische Zeitung in the Berlin Library. What might badly upset our 
calculations, however, is the Subversion Bill. *”* Until that has been decided 
there can be no thought of devising a plan of action. Many regards from the 
Freybergers and myself to you and yours. 

Yours 
F.E. 

You will be getting one by post.”
