Written in English, the official language of the Russian and German Imperial Courts, the letters mirror the private thoughts and ideas of the German Emperor to his younger cousin and friend, Nicholas II. Full of warnings and entreaties about European and Far East questions, the communications reveal the almost paternal and righteous tone of Germany towards Russia in the affairs of the international community.
With a special reference to Nicholas's dragon tattoo on his right forearm.
