[Telegram]
Berlin, via Sayville,
November 22, 1916.
With deepest sorrow I hasten to inform Your Excellency that my beloved grand-uncle, His Imperial and Royal Majesty, Francis Joseph Roemisch I, expired last night after a short illness. I feel confident that Your Excellency and the American nation will sympathize with the great loss that Austria-Hungary has sustained by the death of His Majesty.
