To the Rulers of Europe
From the Swedish Court in Stockholm.
It is with grave concern that the Court received the news that both Turkey & France had started an unprovoked war with Austria. The idea of a Sneak attack against a Sovereign Power being complete anathema to the Swedish peoples we have therefore ordered an immediate emergency session of the Riksdag to decide Swedens response.
While it is vaguely conceivable that the Turkoman, being at best of a somewhat Barbaric nature, might pursue this type of aggressive policy, we experianced a sense of shock that the French court, who in the past have at least had some pretentions of Culture & Honour, should follow the lead of such an uncivilised nation.
The feeling at Court is that this can only be an example of the Republican Doctrine that has swept France in recent years, and as such raises the obvious fears of who’s next, Spain? Prussia? or even England? although in the later case the craven surrender of the English Channel to a French fleet may well give indications that England has also been corrupted by Republican sentiment, we await with some anxiety to see if she will stand idly by while a fellow Sovereign Power is laid waste.
As there can be little doubt that the shameful actions of the French will have forced all of Europe to the Brink of War, we can only hope that even at this late stage wiser heads will prevail and that even now France can pull back from the abyss of a Major European War.
It is hoped at Court that the Riksdag will be able to convene shortly and give voice to the wishes of the Swedish people; a further communiqué will be issued by the Court when a consensus has been reached.
Baron Halver, on behalf of His Majesty Gustavus Adolphus VI.
