Dear Engels,
Get Breyer to pay you the 100 francs which he solemnly promised me to repay within a week, get 30 from Gigot, 10 from Hess. I hope that, as things are now, Breyer will keep his promise.
Maynz will cash the bill for 114 fr. at Cassel’s and give you the money. Collect these various sums and use them.
They spoke kindly of you at the Réforme. Flocon is ill and I haven’t yet seen him. The rumour spread by Seiler is circulating among the Germans generally. Allard has not yet been ousted by the revolution. I advise you to come here.
Central Authority has been constituted here,[197] since Jones, Harney, Schapper, Bauer and Moll are all on the spot. I have been nominated chairman and Schapper secretary. Members are: Wallau, Lupus, Moll, Bauer and Engels.
Jones left for England yesterday; Harney is ill. Salut.
Your
K. M.
