What chiefly offends me is that in always giving way to the govern- ment here we have never found that they are kindly disposed, towards us. That the demand for the recall has been so sudden and belated throws an interesting light upon the government here. May there also the day of reckoning come and our government find again that iron determination with which alone one can make an impression here. ‘Hoping that our connection form- ed in this great time will not come to an end with your departure, T am “Yours sincerely, Second Letfer.

The advertising manner in which they publish things, is of thoroughly American. A communication of mine h been | printed without any authority from | me. I have now written two further series of articles for America. The foreign office wanted to have the first of these, entitled ‘Germany and Eng- | land,’ distributed in the American press, and the other, entitled ‘Pan- Germanism’ (?) was to appear in the Chicago Tribune. “I should be very grateful if you | could forward me one copy each of these articles. They will certainly | have some sort of effect. This is ev dent from the inexpressible rage with which the British and French press have attacked these two Sun articles.

But also England’s interference | in American trade will not fail to have a certain effect. 1 hope both | will take effect together. 1 think, | however, that especially in the west, | where I expect there will soon be a | big attempt to break through, we have | serious and difficult times to look | forward to, but I confidently ,believe that we shall successfully overcome them.
