Kaiser If they contain petitions by
civilians, while those of a mlit9ry

Chiefs of these two departments make
all the necessary inquiries regarding
the communications, and then prepare
the answers in accordance with the
regulations for official letters. These
answers are taken to the Emperor, who
expresses his approval by afilxng his
