(8) Telegram from King George to the German Emperor, August 1.
In reply to your telegram which I have just received I think that there was misunderstanding as regards the proposal made by Sir Edward Grey to Prince Lichnowsky in the amicable conversation at which they discussed the question of discovering some means of averting war between Germany and France, at s0 long as there was the possibility of a compromise between Russia and Austria. Sir Edward Grey will see Prince Lich-now sky to-morrow and will endeayour to assure him that there has been no misunderstanding on his (Sir Edward Grey's) part.
(Signed) G once
