TO: Electors
FROM: Juan II, King of Spain and Navarre, Prince of Algiers
A decision as crucial to the future of our church as the one presented to you is surely not to come for a life time or more. I request, humbly, that the electors come to Barcelona for a word with myself, the most Catholic of kings, within the coming year. So I may discuss the stability of Empire, of Europe and of our faith in the coming decades. May our Lord protect and bless you all.

From: The Electors
We appreciate your concern for the Church and for Europe. Our mandate calls for an election of the Emperor within 90 days of being called to Frankfort and time does not permit a trip to Barcelona if we are to meet that deadline. But we will read any correspondence you send us, upon our arrival there and prior to our casting ballots.
