My dear Marx

Can I not be started for Greenwich, if Gladstone wins in Lancashire.

I would not oppose Beales—but as to Mills, or Bruce, or Langley, I should have no scruple.

Mills I ought to oppose, as long as he is against the Ballot, and for the Minority Clause.

| If you think I can be started, will you help me? That is, will you see friends and set it going? I have written to Howell, Applegarth and Guedalla. I know no other addresses. But Howell writes 3 or 4 are in the feud already. So much the better for me. | But Howell is entêté with Mills—and so I don’t know whom to write to—and I throw myself on your friendship.

Pray answer at once,
Kindest regards at home,

Ever your’s
Ernest Jones.
