My dear Wilhelm: | call you

much closer than you could know.
From the time that you were
here yet an undeveloped being in
your mothers womb [ have
shaped your destiny for my own
purpose.
In the days of Rome I created
rougL-neck known in history
as Nero; he was a vulgar charac-

that particular time. In these
modern days classic demon and

special instrument to place OBJ

you abnormal ambition, likewise
an oversupplv of egotism, that
you might not discover your own
failings; | twisted your mind to
that of a mad man with certain
normal tendencies to carry you
by, most dangerous character

power of hyponist and a GER

might sway your people. | am
responsible for the deforned
arm that hangs helpless at 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 is driven
by your ambitions that squelch
all sentiment and pity. | placed
IN your soul a deep hatred of all
things English, for of all nations
on earth [ hate England most;
wherever England plants her flag
she brings order out of chaos
and the hated Cross follows the
Union Jack; under her rule wild
tribes become tillers of the soil
and in due time practical citizens;
she is the great civjlizer of the
globe, and [ hate her. | planted
in your soul a cruel hatred of
your mother because she was
English and left my good friend

how well our work was done. 1t

in the Internal regions. You
made war on friends and foe
