Note 1233 — Chapter XVIII
Reading edition
The improvement in Anglo-German relations was manifested by visits of German burgomasters in May, of German journalists to England in June, by a visit of Edward VII to his nephew at Cronberg in August, and by the presence of Mr. Haldane at the German maneuvers later in the same month. See Lee, King Edward VII, II, 528 ff.; Haldane, Before the War, pp. 37 ff., 57 ff.; Metternich to Bülow, May 8, 1906, G.P., XXI, 427 ff., No. 7181; Mühlberg to Radolin, June 27, 1906, ibid., 437 f., No. 7187; Bülow to F.

See also the documents in B.D., Vol. III, chap. xxii; Grey, Twenty-five Years, I, 110 ff. During Grey’s absence the foreign office at first opposed Haldane’s visit for fear of alienating the French (Haldane, An Autobiography, p. 202; Spender, Life of Campbell-Bannerman, II, 260).
