“In the opinion of the prescribing physician all the ingredients should not be administered in one dose. I fear the elixir may be too potent, and would suggest, if it is still possible, that two doses should be made of it, and that a different medicine should be given in the interval. The latter could be prepared from the article in the _Kölnische Zeitung_ of the 15th (‘Plans of Reform’) which was written by Camphausen, and the answer in the _Post_, which I wrote from instructions received upstairs. Camphausen, it may be mentioned, is a very many-sided man. He not only belongs to the Manchester School, but has relations with the Castle at Coblenz, and is at the same time in high favour with a Liberal and enlightened circle, (that of the Crown Princess Victoria,) where he is regarded as a corner-stone of Constitutionalism and a sound Protestant. You will shortly receive the flaying (of Schleinitz) and the paragraphs on the branch (of the Berlin _Bonbonnière_) at Karlsruhe. P.S.--Speaking in the Reichstag two years ago Camphausen said: ‘The word _impossible_ is printed in very small characters in my dictionary.’” I based the third article of our series upon this and another letter from Bucher of the 26th of April. This article, which appeared in No. 19 of the _Grenzboten_, ran as follows:-- “Further Friction. “Berlin, _April 26th_. “In the article ‘The Imperial Chancellor on Leave’ attention was called to the fact that besides the opposition of the Court there were other sources of friction that worried and wearied the Prince, exhausting his powers, hampering his work, and thus stimulating his anxiety to be released from office. We select for consideration to-day those that lie in the attitude of certain authorities working immediately under him, or more correctly associated with his work, in respect of various important reforms which the Prince has greatly at heart, but which are making no progress towards fulfilment. In other words the Imperial Chancellor when he sought to resign had been disappointed of the co-operation and support which he had expected from one of his colleagues (Camphausen was meant) in connection with some measures affecting the Customs and commercial policy and taxation--measures which he regards as indispensable, but which have hitherto not been dealt with.
