While doing some unrelated research I found the following resource.  It is the english translation of the letters of the Kaiser to Nicholas II, found among Nicholas's effects after he and his family were murdered in 1918.

An Interesting Read - Enjoy!

Thank you for these links to Isaac Don Levine's work, Dominic! I noticed that these web pages include a few links to pictures of excerpts of the original letters, showing that Wilhelm wrote in the English language and that the letters presented are not translations.  Smiley It also appears that these letters do not include the telegrams in The Willy-Nicky Correspondence as edited by Herman Bernstein, but rather supplement The Willy-Nicky CorrespondenceUndecided

On a quick thumb-through these letters are very interesting and written by the Kaiser in good English-English.

I do like the Kaiser sending Nicholas an album of parade pictures as a present!
