In his letter to Engels of December 6, 1872, Auguste Serraillier wrote that E. Larroque, a leader of the International’s section in Bordeaux, had requested a provisional mandate in the name of the New York Council for the Midi. Engels drafted the mandate on the blank fourth page of Serraillier’s letter. The fair copy of the mandate, probably sent by Engels to Serraillier for signature, is not extant.
Larroque’s mandate was confirmed by the General Council at its meeting of December 22, 1872.
[London,] December 9, 72
