It is important to Washington to continue maintaining friendly relations with all parties involved in the war, and to make every effort to keep from taking a particular side. The document goes on to say that any American who commits any act of hostility against any of the powers involved in the war is susceptible to severe punishment by the government. In addition, the United States will not help these people should they be caught in an act of hostility by a foreign country- they will be subjected to consequences as that country sees fit.
In conclusion, Washington mentions the seal of the United States of America and his own credentials, stating that he will stand by this proclamation.
