MARX TO HERMANN JUNG
IN LONDON
London, 14 September 1868
Dear Jung,
The Times today carries Eccarius' reports of the 9th and 10th.[1]
In the debate on machinery, he makes Lessner's SPEECH worse; it was much better in The Daily News. Lessner quoted my book,[2] as you have seen in The Daily News.[3] Eccarius suppresses the quotation.
Yet even better. In The Daily News the resolution about machines, etc., was noted as a proposal from the GENERAL COUNCIL. In The Times, Mr Eccarius converts this into his personal proposal.
This is a point on which you must collar him. His egotism needs a Cuff TO SET HIM RIGHT AGAIN.
Yours
K. M.
