Ukraine. The policy of intrigues, which, since the revolution,
keep alive the troubles in Russia, will not bring happiness to
all her fomenters. The Russian people is tired of being treated
like an instrument and not like an aim. It would never want a
Czar as a docile instrument of foreign exploitation. It wishes
to have sincere friends. And when it will reach the end of its
difficulties, it will not fail to do honor to its obligations.
There is not a people, so grateful for its friends. But it is
not necessary to torment the sick before the cure.
This is Mr. President, what I would like to say to You
personally, if the happiness comes to me once of seeing you
near by.

Your most sincere and devoted admirer.
