Following from Mr. Balfour for Sir William Wiseman.

You may inform the President for his personal and most confidential information that a general offensive is about to take place on the Macedonian front, and that it would, in my opinion, be of value if a threat could be conveyed to Bulgaria without delay so as to weaken Bulgarian morale and resistance before the offensive matures.
