I am overcome with laughter at the words put forth by the Netherlands. It is the rhetoric of a hopeless desperation attempting to deny any such involvement when not moments before the word of Mr. Lincoln contradict his own. Regardless of whether it was the Dutch (though our information gained points directly to their nation) or another member of the 8th Coalition, the fact remains that our enemies sought to 'distract' us in Canada. I would quote the words of Otto Von Bismarck to the Netherland,

"Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied."

We thank the Netherlands for officially confirming their actions in North America. We thank the Netherlands for their colonies in the Carribean as well. I am quite certain that Mexican and British soldiers will soon be taking a nice vacation on the sandy beaches.

To Mr. Lincoln, we thank him for his official response to the our request. However we must remind him that the United Republic, as the United Kingdom, had allowed our government officials freedom of speech nearly a hundred years before his Nation had even existed. It is because of this familarity that we can state how all too soon fiery rhetoric can be the hasty decisions of a government. After all, after Mr. Lincoln is gone from office...who is to say that Thaddeus Stevens or a man like him will not be President? We warn the Union against any movements towards our colonies in Canada or against our Allies in Mexico. We thank you for not accepting the hideous offer made by the 8th Coalition and hope that peaceful interactions between our two Nations will continue.

-Albert Edward, British Prime Minister
