The letter had attached to it the seals of the original confederates (the Earls of Leicester, Gloucester and Norfolk, Peter of Savoy, Hugh Bigod, John FitzGeoffrey and Peter de Montfort) and Earls of Hereford and Warwick, the Count of Aumale and James of Audley

It states: “The lord King, realizing the intolerable burden of this business and the feeble condition of the Kingdom wished and expressly conceded that the “reformation” should be effected by the Counsel of his magnates, without whom he could neither manage his affairs nor prosecute the Sicilian business”.

Was this the "letter" the manifesto of the barons which was sent with Mansuetus to the Papal Court on 1 August 1258, or another letter?

no, this was the letter sent to king henry iii for forming the Oxford Parliament, first parliment of england.
it was the rebellion of barons that almost ended the monarchy of britain.
"When Henry III's system of international alliances collapsed, Parliament met at Oxford and drew up a provisional constitution to control the king. England was declared to be a 'commune' with representative institutions. There was to be an elected council, three meetings of parliament every year and elected officials. Henry III was compelled to swear to the Provisions but, by 1261, he had outmanoeuvred his opponents and got the Pope to release him from his oath."
