Aug. 2, 1919 Maglione in Bern to Gasparri, encrypted telegram:
On behalf of Mons. Apostolic Nuncio of Munich I am communicating:
“For the purpose of avoiding new polemics in Germany, where there would be a longing to see published the text of the cover letter of Your Reverend Eminence, I believe that after the communication of the Hamas News Agency, it would need to be stated that this letter corresponds to my note to the Chancellor that has already been published.
I deplore the indiscretion committed by Minister Erzberger, albeit with the good intention of making better appreciated the work carried out by the Holy See.” Maglione
