Baron Paul von Mohrenheim, director of Grand Duke Constantine's diplomatic chancellery at Warsaw → Julius Schmidt, Prussian consul general at Warsaw

An undated note from Mohrenheim to Schmidt, written as he was leaving: the day before he read his memorandum on the affair of Weigel and Eisenhardt to the council, which recognised unanimously that payment must be made. How it is to be made will be deliberated.

One line per manuscript line, with broken words hyphenated and stray break marks removed. Editorial decisions are set out in About the edition.
