Sir,
As you know I have been bedridden for the past month with gout.
Unfortunately, I have just received your note regarding the meeting at
Fleur: it pains me to tell you <OOC: Boy, does it pain me :-( > that I will
be unable to attend and take the minutes, as my battalion is set to go to
the front for the month. Unfortunately, I will be assisting the Dutch
fighting the Spaniards in the United Provinces. I trust, however, that I
will return safe and well to resume my duties as your aide at the beginning
of December. Your understanding in this matter would be greatly
appreciated.
Your Servant
Chev. Michel d'Alembert
Major, 3rd Battalion
Cardinal's Guard
