My dear Mahon

I don't see how I can say no after all the talk about it: so be it therefore as to coming. As to subjects there is my lecture called now 'Socialism' & which I am to deliver substantially at Dublin as the dawn of a new epoch; I can touch it up & make it serve your turn I think and you may call it the present & future of the working class. My political outlook is a good lecture to people who know something of the subject. And then I suppose you will want an open-air address or something of that kind. I havn't much time to write just now but will do my best. As to your Bradlaugh note, I basely prigged the sense of it and adopted it myself making it much shorter, as was necessary. Commune meeting as I daresay you have heard a great success. By the by I dont feel sure of the Tuesday as I have to go to Glasgow also, and how I can manage it all I dont know. All right as to my traveling expenses: as to my lodging I will stay with our friend with pleasure. 

I am almost afraid that the Fed. have got hold of Kropotkine: at least I am going by Hunter Watts' invitation to meet him tonight. But of course he is an old bird and not easily caught with chaft. Excuse haste

Yours fraternally
