20 Nicolson to Goschen, 12 September 1911, Nicolson MSS. vol. IV for 1911. In the British Documents, Gooch and Temperley reproduced Nicolson’s letter of the same date to Buchanan in St Petersburg. In it was the sentence ‘ Our military experts are of opinion that the French army has never been better organised or in a fitter state to undertake a campaign, but at the same time, I cannot imagine that war will break out.’ B.D. vn, no. 546. This is one of the rare instances I have found where the editors printed the more innocuous of two letters available to them.
