MARX TO HERMANN JUNG

IN LONDON

[London,] 6 August 1870

Dear Jung!

Enclosed a 'very readable' copy of the two resolutions of the General Council relating to the Alliance internationale de la démocratie socialiste.[1]

You should write to Perret asking him to print these resolutions. That is the best way of replying to the Solidarité^ 4%

They must not say that they publish it by order of the General Council, but they have the right to do so, because in the original resolutions of the Council the publication was expressly decided upon.[2] [3]

Yours truly,

Karl Marx

  2. ↑ This paragraph is in French in the original.
  3. ↑ The original version of the General Council's resolution, written by Marx on 22 December 1868, 'The International Working Men's Association and the International Alliance of Socialist Democracy', made the point that is was necessary to publish this resolution in all countries where sections of the International existed. This point was omitted from the final text (see present edition, Vol. 21, p. 36).
