Most respectfully yours

Porto Rose near Pirano, August 31
My heartiest congratulations that your indefatigable endeavors continued throughout long years in the interest of universal peace have suddenly, by means of a word on the Neva, brought such a surprising and brilliant victory into happy prospect!
With heart and hand
Dr. Karl von Scherzer
Minister Plenipotentiary (retired)
Munich, August 30
... The Tsar has done a splendid thing. Whatever may come of it, from now on the air is throbbing with thoughts of peace,—even where yesterday they were deemed impossible. This will bring great and unexpected results. Now the Anglo-American treaty will be ratified, and ultimately all Germans will be at one—in such an air all things can come about. You see! it is worth while to preach, to have faith, to be a prophet, energetically and incessantly!
