Deutschland darf in seiner Einmüthigheit wie in seine Rechte die Bürgschaft finden, daß der Krieg ihm Frieden bringe und daß aus der blutigen Saat eine von Gott gesegnete Ernte deutscher Freiheit und Einigheit sprießen werde.
Berlin, 25. Juli 1870. Wilhelm I.
(Translation)
Germany, in her unanimity and in her sense of justice, may rest assured that strife brings her tranquillity and that out of the bloody sowing will spring a harvest, blessed by God, of German freedom and unity.
