Herr Glass,

I must apologize for the delay in getting back to you, but I am sure you know better than anyone that writing and reviewing legal texts requires time and pondering. We have duly analyzed the proposed terms and we see nothing fundamentally contradictory to our interests nor to the people of Rheinland's. The suggestions we wish to formulate are few, in fact.

I

1.0 [...] supported by the skulduggery of the corrupt Unioner cause [...]

While we certainly agree on the idea behind it, a neutral rephrasing is preferred. Our suggestion is the following:

1.0 [...] actively supported by the Unioner cause [...]

II

2.1 Violators of the ceasefire should be captured alive where possible for their interrogation and punishment, but the aim to do so should not unreasonably endanger the defensive combatant. In unavoidable cases, traitors should be eliminated.

We would appreciate a more peaceful resolution should such problems unfortunately arise. Moreover, we fear the notions of "punishment", "unavoidable cases" and "elimination" leave too much space for eventual unfortunate misunderstandings which could endanger this Accord on the long run. Here is our proposal:

2.1 Violators of the ceasefire should be captured alive where possible for their interrogation, but the aim to do so should not unreasonably endanger the defensive combatant. Each party shall assist the other in disabling rogue elements and enforcing the ceasefire if infringed by uncompliant individuals affiliated with either side.

If absolutely necessary, after all other recourses have failed, the use of lethal force remains covered by the mention "where possible".

III

Last, we wish to submit one more clause to your approval.

1.4 Each signatory party is considered to and shall always act in good faith towards the other. Any conflicts predating this Accord are hereby deemed void.

I am confident we can promptly come to terms. We are of course open to discussions.

Faithfully,

Maja Kurbjuweit
