I have the great honor, on this the proudest occasion of my life, to announce that I am commissioned to inform you that the name of our President is Bernard Belgrave.

You, sir, are President of the Imperium In Imperio, the name of our Government, and to you we devote our property, our lives, our all, promising to follow your banner into every post of danger until it is planted on freedom's hill.

You are given three months in which to verify all of my claims, and give us answer as to whether you will serve us." * * * * * Bernard took three months to examine into the reality and stability of the Imperium.

He found it well nigh perfect in every part and presented a form of government unexcelled by that of any other nation..
