Note 428 — Chapter IX
Reading edition
From London, Bernstorff, first secretary of the embassy, reported that the British were entirely pacific in their intentions and inclinations (Bernstorff to Bülow, April 16, 1904, ibid., 14 ff., No. 6376). The Emperor considered this report “excellent.” Alvensleben also wrote from St. Petersburg that Russia was not so well satisfied with the Anglo-French accord as French newspapers would have one believe (Alvensleben to Bülow, April 15, 1904, ibid., 21 f., No. 6377).
