Sir E. Grey to Sir F. Elliot Foreign Office 1 October 1915. It is of course never intended to ask the Greek Government to allow British troops to pass in order that they should be used to extort concessions from Greece. You should disabuse M. Veniselos at once of such an idea, if he entertains it, and you may tell him confidentially that His Majesty's Government consider the offer to Bulgaria as having lapsed by the action of Bulgaria herself, and that they are so informing their allies. But His Majesty's Govern- ment consider that at this moment it would not be politic to allow this view to be known either at Sofia, where it would unite the Bulgarians under King Ferdinand, or at Nish, since our hope is that should war break out between Serbia and Bulgaria, Greece and Serbia will be able to come to an immediate agreement for concerted action against Bulgaria.

Sir E. Grey'den Sir F. Elliot'a Dışişleri Bakanlığı (Foreign Office), 1 Ekim 1915. Yunan Hükûmetinden, İngiliz birliklerinin Yunanistan'dan taviz koparmak için kullanılmak üzere geçişine izin vermesini istemek elbette hiçbir zaman amaçlanmamıştır. M. Veniselos böyle bir düşünceye sahipse onu derhal bu düşünceden vazgeçirmelisiniz. Kendisine gizli olarak şunu da söyleyebilirsiniz: Majestelerinin Hükûmeti, Bulgaristan'a yapılan teklifi bizzat Bulgaristan'ın kendi davranışı nedeniyle hükümsüz kalmış saymaktadır ve müttefiklerine de bu yönde bilgi vermektedir. Ancak Majestelerinin Hükûmeti, şu anda bu görüşün ne Bulgarları Kral Ferdinand'ın etrafında birleştireceği Sofya'da ne de Niş'te duyulmasına izin vermenin siyaseten yerinde olmayacağı kanaatindedir; zira umudumuz, Sırbistan ile Bulgaristan arasında savaş çıkması hâlinde Yunanistan ile Sırbistan'ın Bulgaristan'a karşı ortak harekât için derhal bir anlaşmaya varabilmeleridir.
