Classification: Β1 - Confidential - Most Rapid
To the attention of the Right Honourable Minister.
Honourable Sir,
I would first like to once more express the condolences and sympathies of the Pelasgian Empire for the recent natural events which have plagued the Confederate Republic. Were it not for great distance and for our own pressing domestic concerns, of which I am certain a man of your stature is aware, the Empire would have endeavour to offer assistance of a more practical nature.
Alas, it is a most unfortunate event that, though Beautancus is the first Western nation that Pelasgia came in contact with following the end of our de facto isolation from the 'Heretical West' in the wake of the Himyari Crusades, relations between our two nations have been quite sporadic and nominal since the Reconquest of Kyparissos. It is indeed no secret that the unfortunate events which defined our relationship in the beginning of the 19th century, though regrettable, did leave a long-lasting impact on both of our nations' future, a reality which is still reflected in the slightly peculiar and Engelloid fashions of the locals of the Western Archipelago in our own Country.
The Empire, having unshackled itself from the dynastic commitments chaining it to the small corner of Germania across the Long Sea has now decided to turn to new partners for diplomatic cooperation. As such, we have endeavoured to strike partnerships and friendships in such unlikely places as the Red States across the Kalahari, the quasi-Sodomal lands of Gallia and the isolated and peculiar territories of Himyar south of the Syenaic Mountains. However, we have yet to turn to Occitania, a land of considerable civilisation and progress, to which we once turned to modernise, and to which might now turn during our current modernisation efforts.
To this end, I would like to invite His Excellency, Signeur Edward C. Orton to the island of Kyparissos to meet with the Lord Sakellarios of the Empire. Kyparissos is where our relations, though tenuous and strained, once begun; it should be the place where they shall be reborn. Due to the recent developments in Occitania, we would understand if there was a need for His Excellency to remain in Beautancus, and would be open to instead have the Pelasgian Minister of External Affairs with his equivalent from your Country, on the aforementioned island.
Be pleased to extend the warmest wishes of His Imperial Majesty to His Excellency, who has asked me to extend this greeting to His Excellency through you as one First Citizen to another.
Signed and sealed,
