Note from MECW :

This document is the last account presented by the Social-Democratic Refugee Committee, which ceased its activities owing to the split in the Communist League and the resignation of Marx, Engels and their followers from the German Workers' Educational Society in London (see this volume, p. 483).

Since the four undersigned members of the hitherto existing Social-Democratic Committee, oh submitting these accounts, declared their resignation from the Committee, the Society in Great Windmill Street3 appointed a commission to check the books and receipts, which reported on the 15th that it had found everything in order.

The undersigned saw fit to leave all books and receipts concerning their administration with the hitherto treasurer, K. Pfänder, 21 King Street, Soho Square, since they had resigned not only from the Committee but from the Society and the documents cannot be dispensed with in case enquiries are made by members of the public.

Donors* are therefore requested to appoint representatives in London to inspect the books and receipts at the above-mentioned hitherto treasurer’s.
