Re: [eia] [escrow] July 1806 Political Orders

["Kyle H" <menexenus@xxxxxxx>]

    Yes, I think JJ made it clear that the rescinding of French access was a 
"condition" of the informal peace in the gentleman's agreement sort of way, 
and that Prussia could ignore it if he wished as far as the rules of the 
game are concerned.  (Didn't JJ say specifically that he was mentioning the 
rescinding of access only for the public record and not because it is a 
binding agreement.)

    So the way to understand it is that Russia extended an offer of informal 
peace without "conditions" and Prussia accepted.  Now Russia hopes that 
Prussia will live up to its word (and it looks like Prussia is doing that).
