Petitioners Offer for Patronage and Pardons in Westphalia
A petitioner pleads readiness to acknowledge errors regarding Germany and to distance loyalists, offering red ribbons and red faces as symbols. He promises to restrain Tory opposition to your grace's administration, to avoid talk of Rhone and Soane, and to seek intercession for pardons for himself and Gawkee. He vows not to bully in council or insult the royal master if pardoned, and asks consideration and relief.
