Memorial Proposals for Rhine Army and Empire War Effort
Debated in the assembly the plan to raise an 80000 man Rhine army with proportional state contributions. Proposals urge arrears be paid in six weeks, with military coercion for noncompliance, and to move artillery and a million dollars to Frankfort. Lists and totals per circle follow, totaling 80100 men. Marlborough's return from Brussels, Prussian demands, and chatter on Dutch and Saxon concessions appear, with London dispatches noting prisoners and pardons.
