Mr Farrar

I have edited in your signature to the final product, which I will now send off for ratification in the Landsraad. Please give to Shireroth a coupy of the Florian Republic's ratification of this treaty once you have finalized the details for the Florian Republic.

Death spare the Kaiser! Long live the Florian Republic!
