To conclude - I think you must make one thing quite clear, 
      in view of the activities of bad Spaniards who from outside the 
      country speculate on the possibility of internal changes, and 
      who, relying only on the strength of their passions, might fancy 
      they could effect a rapprochement by giving Britain a better 
      bargain, - the very idea is so fantastic that we ought not even 
      to discuss such a possibility - you must emphasize that any such 
      hypothetical change of regime, I say this with all due emphasis, 
      would serve the interests of Russia alone. In foreign affairs 
      all of us responsible Spaniards think alike, and history shows 
      that it is not so difficult to win Spain's friendship and her 
                              heart.                        
 
                                                            
 
 
After laying bare to you frankly and faithfully my ideas, 
      it only remains for me to entrust to your patriotism and active 
      intelligence the task of conveying these sentiments to the man 
      upon whose shoulders rests the greatest responsibility for the 
                        future of Europe.                   
 
                                                            
 
 
                   With sincere affection                   
 
                             (Signed)
