Roland received a letter froion

It was accoerprinted ion's intent of loyalty to His Majesty

The letter itself talked about more trivial e his accession ceremony, so that the Duke could prepare his journey to attend This was the convention every ti was soon to be coronated

The next question asked about the new policies, such as how they should be enforced, what the reeement scope of the city hall should be
