Letter from E. Venizelos to Douglas M. Gane thanking him for his previous letter and expressing his certainty that the section of the Press which misunderstood his coming to England does not represent the feelings of the whole country, which has always received him cordially.

Dear Sir,
On the eve of my departure for Paris
I received your letter of the 5th instant and
wish to express to you my sincere appreciation
of your sympathetic message.
I am quite sure from the great number
of similar messages I have received that that
section of the Press which wilfully misunderstands
my motives in coming to England at the present
moment is not representative of the feeling in
this country which has always received me with
great cordiality and courtesy.
Believe me,
Yours very truly,
[…]

Uncertain readings
- ⟦…⟧ Handwritten initials or paraphe in place of a signature, not legible. Possibly Greek initials (Β…) of E. Venizelos, but the reading is not certain.
- ⟦M.Cane⟧ The typed initial letter of the surname looks like 'C' ('Cane'). The archivist's description gives 'Gane'. Typewriter G and C are hard to tell apart on this page, so the letter is kept as it appears. No space after 'M.'.

Αγαπητέ κύριε,
Την παραμονή της αναχώρησής μου για το Παρίσι έλαβα την επιστολή σας της 5ης τρέχοντος και επιθυμώ να σας εκφράσω την ειλικρινή μου εκτίμηση για το μήνυμα συμπάθειάς σας.
Είμαι απολύτως βέβαιος, από το μεγάλο πλήθος παρόμοιων μηνυμάτων που έχω λάβει, ότι το τμήμα του Τύπου που σκόπιμα παρεξηγεί τα κίνητρα της έλευσής μου στην Αγγλία κατά την παρούσα στιγμή δεν αντιπροσωπεύει το αίσθημα αυτής της χώρας, η οποία με έχει πάντοτε υποδεχθεί με μεγάλη εγκαρδιότητα και ευγένεια.
Με εκτίμηση,
[…]

Sayın Bayım,
Paris'e hareketimin arifesinde, bu ayın 5'i tarihli mektubunuzu aldım ve anlayış dolu mesajınız için size içten takdirlerimi sunmak isterim.
Aldığım çok sayıdaki benzer mesajdan, basının şu anda İngiltere'ye gelişimin nedenlerini kasten yanlış anlayan kesiminin, beni her zaman büyük bir içtenlik ve nezaketle karşılamış olan bu ülkedeki genel duyguyu temsil etmediğinden tamamen eminim.
Saygılarımla,
[…]
