Works of Karl Marx 1872

Sir, — In your issue of to-day I find a paragraph headed “The International,” containing, after “the Paris papers,” a pretended circular of the “Grand Council” of that Association, and bearing my signature as “General Secretary.”
I beg to state, in reply, that this document is from beginning to end a forgery. No such circular was ever issued by the General Council of the International Working Men’s Association, nor could 1 have signed anything of the sort as General Secretary, inasmuch as I have never occupied that position.
I request you to publish the above in your next number, and remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
Karl Marx
