Ny Dear wilhelm, i can call you
by that familiar name for have al
ways been very close to you, much
closer than you could know.
From the time that you were yet
an undeveloped being In your moth

In the days of Rome l created a
rough-neck known in history as Nero;
he was vulgar character and euited

In these modern days classic demon

likewise an oversupply Of egotism that
you might not discover your own fail

and the Dardanelles and you began your
great railway to Bagdad, but the ambi-

then that sowed the seed in your heart
that blossomed into the assassination Of
the duke and his wife, and all hell
smiled when / saw how cleverly you
saddled the crime onto Serbia. l saw
you set sail for the fjords of Norway
and I knew you would prove an alibi.
How cleverly done, SO much like your
noble grandfather, who also secured an
assassin to remove old King Frederick Of
Denmark and later robbed that coun-
