{London,] 20 September 1865 

Dear Miller,? 

I received yours yesterday afternoon, too late to post a letter 
here. Illness had much to do with my protracted silence. There 
were other reasons which I think useless now to dwell upon. Much 
business pressing upon my time just now, I can only return these 
few lines.

A Report” (English, of course) on your part is very important. 
It must be here on Monday next (25 September). It cannot arrive 
timely unless you send me the letter directly by the Leipzig post. 

The Swiss have chosen two delegates, Mons Dupleix, a 
Frenchman, and Mr Philipp Becker, a German. 

Old Hatzfeldt dwells at Paris, where the old hag is intriguing 
with the ‘horn-bearing’ father of ‘Socialism’, Moses," her most 
cringing slave. It was at her instigation, that he inserted his 
‘warning’ in the Nordstern and his slander into the Social- 
Demokrat.** She is now concocting with him the ‘Apotheosis’ of her 
own belated ‘Oedipus’.” The London correspondent of the 
Social-Demokrat seems to be cracked Weber.‘ All these things 
have been reported to me from Paris. As to myself, I carefully 
abstain from taking any notice whatever of what is going on in the 
Berlin and Hamburg ‘organs’ of the movement.’ This so-called 
movement is so disgusting a thing that the less you hear of it the 
better. 

We have founded here a weekly paper of our own The 
Workman’s Advocate. You will oblige by sending correspondence 
(English) for it to my address. 

Yours truly 
A. Williams *
