Letter
Wilhelm to To the Imperial Chancellor, Prince Bismarck, April 7, 1880
[Inclosure in No. 107—Translation.]
Extract from National Zeitung, Berlin, April 9, 1880.
Berlin, April 7, 1880.
To your request of the 6th instant, I reply that I certainly do not ignore the difficulties which, by a conflict of your duties and responsibilities under the Imperial constitution, are imposed upon you; but I do not feel myself called upon to release you from your office because you believe that you are unable, in a certain case, to solve the problem presented to you by Articles 16 and 17 of the constitution. I must rather leave it to you to lay before me and the federal council proposals which shall be calculated to insure a constitutional solution of the conflicting duties referred to.
WILHELM.
To the Imperial Chancellor, Prince Bismarck.
