this telegram, send two days before the outbreak of war, struck me as rather interesting:
Assuming he could and did, how would things develop ?
So, could the Kaiser have followed his cousins advice and sought international arbitration ?Thanks for your telegram conciliatory and friendly. Whereas official message presented today by your ambassador to my minister was conveyed in a very different tone. Beg you to explain this divergency! It would be right to give over the Austro-Servian problem to the Hague conference. Trust in your wisdom and friendship. Your loving Nicky
