From the Confederation
We would like to make peace, and in doing so are prepared, on the whole, to accept what terms Germany has offered us in public and private channels under the circumstances (seeing as we are not, it seems, in the most promising of strategic positions).
However, we cannot simply give up, say, Piedmont to Italy as an obligation in a treaty with Germany without a concurrent treaty with Italy, and so we are of the opinion that it is necessary for all parties to state their demands to be enshrined in a single treaty that we will concede and acknowledge and all parties will be bound by, both pertaining to the wars concerning Spain, the wars concerning Germany, and the wars concerning Italy.
Accordingly, we open what should be called the St Gall Conference, to be held in the capital of the Swiss Free State, seeing as that is conveniently situated and neutral. We intend to bring a draft treaty before you within a short period, in which will be enshrined the German demands, and in which will also be enshrined, within reason, provided that they are submitted, the Italian demands, all of which can be rearranged by the victorious powers more or less as they like, and which all will then be invited to sign.
We request that Italy please issue its demands plainly to us via PM, preferably first having consulted Germany on the matter, and we request that all other concerned powers clarify within themselves what they require should be enshrined in the treaty, and inform us quickly.
The above method will save all forms of ambiguity [and is honestly the only way I can possibly be bothered to negotiate in before taking my leave of this NES, having achieved or failed to achieve everything I wanted to, and having no interest in running a non-multi-national northern French rump state], as well as being the only possible reasonable way of making a treaty for a generally and universally interconnected and interwoven war.
