From the Consul in Damascus (Padel) to the Embassy in Constantinople

Telegraphic Report

Damascus, 30 March 1915
Urgent.

Count Wolfskel informed me that Consul Roessler in Aleppo plans to travel to Zeitun because of the events there, which have meanwhile developed satisfactorily. The military authority considers this journey to be extremely questionable and requests that he refrain from undertaking it. As requested, I telegraphed this to Roessler. On behalf of Count Wolfskel, I request that instructions be sent accordingly from there to Aleppo.

Padel

[Answer from Wangenheim, 30 March]

1) Consulate in Aleppo

Referring to the telegram from Consul Padel for Consul Roessler. Please do not travel to Zeitun, but rather restrict yourself to a visit to Marasch. Have informed Padel accordingly.

2) Consulate in Damascus

Reply to telegram dated 30 March. Consul Roessler will only travel to Marash, where German nuns have urgently requested his presence; he has been instructed not to go to Zeitun.
