The propagation equations for small perturbations of a background gravitational field satisfying the E INSTEIN equations are considered. For the perturbation potential the covariantly generalized E INSTEIN ‐H ILBERT gauge is chosen. With the aid of the method used in [10], bitensor G REEN 's functions for the propagation equations in a weak vacuum field are given explicitly. The tail term is obtained to be an integral of the first‐order R IEMANN curvature tensor. As an application of the formulae, G REEN 's functions for perturbations of the S CHWARZSCHILD metric are calculated to first order in the mass parameter.
