Have received answers from the German Emperor, Austrian Emperor, King of Great Britain and President of France to President’s, offer mediation. Your message reported answer given by Foreign Office but stated that the Czar was out of the city. Do you know if the President’s message has been delivered to him? You might discreetly ask whether any further answer is to be expected.
