London, Dec. 18th, 1912.
IR--Referring to my letter of the 10th,
inst. have now the honor to transmit COPY
OF the letter which informed you thatI
had received from MIR. Speyer, and of that
which stated it was my intention to adj
dress TO him, on the subject of our relations
with Sweden.
Notwithstanding the present apparentir
ritation of the Swedish government, I
have been assured by MIR. De Kaptzow,
and | learn from other sources, that it has
invariably manifested the most friendly
disposition towards the United States.
Those American vessels which have SOUGHT
shelter III its ports have experienced per.

and IN some instances the protection of
Swedish convoy has been afforded to Ame.
rican vessels passing through the sound.
Indeed this circumstance, Mr.. De Kant
zow informed me had been mentioned 10
him by Lord Castlereagh with no satisfae.

lear, however, that the art and In.
trigues OF our enemy will, if not speedily
counteracted, produce state of things
equally unfriendly. l collect from various
quarters that considerable dissatisfaction
is entertained by the Swedish government
that the United States have not appointed
a minister near it,
The jealousy which has long existed DC.

have contributed no little TO the feeling to
which this mission has given rise, seeing
that the United States have had minister
near the Danish government. MIR. De
Kantzow seemed anxious to know whether
a minister was or would be appointed; and
| am inclined TO believe that his stay here
is prolonged on thai account.
The crown prince is fond Of court and
spiendor; the government is poor; and to
say nothing of the two great spectators, the
example Of Denmark is immediately before
it.
