MAXIMILIAN VON SCHWARTZKOPPEN (1850-1917), German military attaché in Paris to whom Esterhazy sold the secrets listed in the bordereau. TLS, Kommando des Kadettenkorps, Berlin, 4 February 1903. Translation: "In reply to your kind request of 24.1.1903 the Corps Command respectfully answers that pressure of numbers and class sizes do not permit the transfer of your son Hans to Potsdam for the single Obertertia year. Nor is it in the cadet's interest to remove him for so short a time from an institution where he seems to be finding recognition." Signed "v. Schwartzkoppen, Generalmajor und Kommandeur".
