A confidential missive describes an amnesty offer from Miguel King of Portugal to concede pardon to those opposing him. The draft limits pardons to loyal Portuguese and excludes high treason cases, with property restitution conditions and limitations on offices. The plan ties amnesty to recognition of Miguel’s rights and a pledged return to normalcy if Don Pedro’s allyship ends.
