Summary
Encloses a draft of his ideas on the proclamation of neutrality; which speaks of neutrality but avoids mentioning it by name. Feels it unwise to receive a minister until the regent be represents has become de facto, and this should be inferable from the proclamation. Let us do everything to avoid war, and be grateful that the President is a man who will not act rashly.
