To be fair to Rozemyne, when Ferdinand wrote the letter, he wouldn't have known that Georgine is already poised for striking Ehrenfest and that she has a way to take their foundation. Nor would he have known that Rozemyne likewise has a way to steal Ahrensbach's foundation and would be able to get Dunkelfelger on their side for the assault on top of getting permission from the royal family to go through with the attack... well technically we haven't heard the royals actually giving that permission yet, but with how much the royals want to get rid of Detlinde and how much they stand to gain from this, I think that's just a formality.
Nor would he have known, that Ahrensbach would be so considerably weakened, by the slaughter that Georgine and Detlinde have planned for any noble who's not following them unconditionally. This slaughter is planned for the exact same night, in which Rozemyne plans to launch the assault. So in the worst case, Ahrensbach's defenses will be in weakened and in disarray, and in the best case there will be Ahrensbach nobles, who realized they are on the chopping block, but are still alive and thus will likely ally with the attacking force, further bolstering the strength of the attackers.
