of Almighty God;
MY Dear Wilhelm;
Il can call you by that familiar name,
! for | have always been very close TO you,
much closer than YOU could ever know,
From the time that you were yet an
undeveloped being in your mothers womb
! | have shaped your destiny for my own
purpose.

| roughneck known in history as Nero; he
was a vulgar character and suited my pur-
pose at the particular time. In these
modern days a classic demon and efficient
supercriminal was needed and as | know
the Hohenzollern blood | picked YOU as
my special instrument to place on earth
an annex OF hell. | gave YOU abnormal
ambition, likewise an over-supply OF ego
| tism, that You might not discover your
own failings; ! twisted Your mind to that
O. mad man with certain normal tendon
cies to carry you by, most dangerous
character placed in power; | gave you
the power OF a hypnotlst and a certain
magnetic force that you might sway Your
people | am responsible for the detormed
arm that hangs helpless on your left, for
Your crippled condition embitters your
life and destroys all noble impulses that
might otherwise cause me anxiety, but
your strong sword arm il driven by Your
ambition that squelchcs all sentiment and
pity: | placed in your mind a deep hatred
OF all things English, for OF all nations on
earth | hate England most; wherever
England plants her flag she brings order
ont of chaos and the hated Cross follows
the Union Jack; under her rule wlid
| tribes become tlcrs OF the soil and III due
, time practical citizens; she y the great
eivilizer of the globe and | HATE HER
| planted in your soul a cruel hatred FOL
your mother because SHE was English
and left my good friend Bismarck to ian

proves how we'll our work was done. 1t
broke your royal mothers heart, but
