Here is that sketch. Perhaps the gentlemen will find in it something
to start from. I think perhaps what is good in it may be the fact that
it contains a programme which marks out the line for further activity
and eliminates that which a peace union cannot do; that is to say,
_itself_ founding peace, removing the political causes of war.
Here is also a second sketch for notices in the papers—will be easier
to find room for than the big appeal. Oh, this overloading with work!
One is caught in the wheels of so many machines that one scarcely
knows where one is. _You_ are in it too now. It is lucky, anyhow, that
Südekum can help. The unpleasantnesses and difficulties in the birth
and infancy of the Union—oh, I know them too; the only thing that
helps one over them is a look toward the loftiness of the goal. With
hearty hand-clasp to the brave comrade in arms, etc.
