The Polish Commonwealth is experiencing peace. We are not looking for conflict, and while we would gladly come to the aid of my Catholic brothers, I fear religious turmoil and anger by the nobles of the Commonwealth if I were to intervene, and honor some treaties while I would break others.

If the Sejm (Legio) would like to express their views for or against the Commonwealth's involvement, then I would appreciate them, but I say now that peace is my goal for this year, and I hope to pursue it, and bring fertile lands to the people.

The German Kaiser.

We respect you're wishes for peace good king and friend. I to wished peace, yet it seems the Protestants want more of Germany. We of coarse shall always remember you're help in the Crusade.

However, we know that you shall mourn the fact that you gained no further glory. May you prevail in you're good governance against those that wish you destroyed.

Ferdinand von Hapsburg.

Sigismund,
I advise you not to insult he who asks for peace.

You are not asking peace from me, you are asking that from Wladyslaw. I ask that I see the document so I can approve of it, or suggest some additions or alterations. I am concerned about my borders, and this would be of great interest, since my first few years of warfare were in preserving the peace along this border. If I were to neglect this border when peace can be resumed, and it would be a threat to my national interests, I would not be thinking of the hundreds of Poles fighting for the Catholics of Smolensk, and freeing the boyars to vote as they will, to decide policy, and involve themselves in their government, and provide a more popular and productive government.
Do not tell me what I am or am not to do. If you would persist in this, then I may well advise you on matters of rebel Russian state, something I would be ignorant of.

I tell you once. Please produce this peace document, so that all the world can see what you are suggesting, and so that I can rest safe in my bed, knowing that Russia is governed by a fair and just rulers, not by a madman.

"...my first few years of warfare were in preserving the peace along this border."
What is that? Do you even know what you're saying?
You Catholics seem so prone to war.
You say "fighting for Smolensk" like it hasn't been inhabited by honest, Orthodox Russians for generations.
