Proposed by Engels, seconded by Hales that the Bill of Mr. Truelove[1] £25 11.6 be passed, reserving the question of the price of the handbills and the 5th Thousand copies.[2] Adopted unanimously.
Proposed by Engels, seconded by Eccarius: that Mr. Truelove be paid £10.—on account and the payment of the rest be delayed until he shall have handed in an account of copies sold. Adopted unanimously.
Proposed by Marx, seconded by Longuet: that the General Council be requested, to avoid all misunderstandings, to declare at the opening of the Conference: that a Conference is nothing but a meeting of delegates from various countries called to consult and decide together with the General Council, on administrative measures rendered necessary by extraordinary circumstances.[3]
Hales proposed, Longuet seconded: that the General Council recommend the formation of an English Federal Council. Withdrawn to be submitted to General Council tomorrow.
Marx proposes, Jung seconds: that the formation of working women’s sections be recommended.[4]

In a letter of September 4, Truelove again requested payment of the bill.
