[Received April 28, 8.30 a. m.]

3816. Von Jagow called early this morning and asked me to go to Great Headquarters to-night. I am in dark as to object of this and did not ask any audience. Suppose it is either for the purpose of helping persuade Emperor to Chancellor’s views or to gain time for answering your note.

Gerard
