4104. Your telegram 3157 of July 5, 11 a. m.1 Note verbale of December 18, 1914, as stated in my 3882 of May 12, 4 p. m., was never answered, but in January 1915, some papers without any covering note or letter were returned. Weston, an Englishman of British relief, claims all papers not returned, but difficult to settle this as he was in solitary confinement for months and now in Ruhleben. There was no written apology, but Zimmermann asked me as a favor to let matter drop.
