Mademoiselle Legate,
I think the time draws near to pardon Recluta Melody for her crimes, if you still intend to do so. I have touched upon the subject with Dante, and he has informed me that any singular Legate may issue a pardon, and that he has no interest at all in countermanding your doing it.
It seems the Janissaries will probably pressure him for the rest of his term if he does it, but you are leaving office soon anyway, oui?
M.R.
