Emperor and King seek pact over Westphalia rights
The document reports on the Emperor's letter to the King of Prussia and the latter's answer, pressing for settlement of the Convent of Hamersleben and the Cathedral of Minden. It notes assurances to protect Protestant rights under the Westphalia treaty, and outlines expected reforms in the Palatinate plus orders for a swift accommodation. The piece references Paris talks, succession guarantees, and a vow to avoid refuge for rebels within allied realms.
