Courland Replies to Proposals on Courland Succession
The States of Courland respond to the Russian Commissary declaring belief in Polish assurances and Diet involvement, refuse further demands, and entrust temporal happiness to God and Polish sovereign. They publish a separate declaration from Murau dated October 18 1718 affirming or denying desire for the Margrave of Brandenburg-Swedt as successor to the duchies, showing no foundation to dissent.
