Summary:

Excerpt from The Origins of the War of 1870: New Documents From the German Archives Private and confidential letters, which ordinarily are so important in diplomatic intercourse, are singularly lacking here; but during the rapidly moving events of those exciting days it is probable that such letters played a very slight role, and that almost all business was transacted by the telegrams that appear in this collection.
