The Willy-Nicky Letters
Telegrams, in their original English, between cousins Kaiser Wilhelm and Tsar Nikolai in the run-up to the First World War.
Thanks for your telegram conciliatory and friendly. Whereas official message presented today by your ambassador to my minister was conveyed in a very different tone. Beg you to explain this divergency!... Your loving Nicky
