To the esteemed Lt. Colonel Alan la Pointe, Royal
Marines
Mon cher Alain
Forgive me, mon ami, for not coming to visit you
sooner, but firghting has been fierce during this last month. Nevertheless, the
glorious Grand Duke Max Dragoons - despite being pitted against some of the
enemies strongest forces, are gaining the upper hand. I will therefore present
myself at your camp this evening.
Your reports of the wenches and the make-shift
trapeze are intriguing, and I await this curious form of entertainment with some
anticipation. I will be able to bring some tomato wine that comes highly
recommended (at least, while here at the front), by my commanding officer, the
most highly respected the esteemed Lieutenant Colonel Chretien du Penmarch
(CdP). I shall also bring my trusty rapier, which, as you shall see, is showing
some wear and tear from the hours of practice put in, in preparation for my
encounter with Major Doutron (JBD).
I look forward to seeing you, cher Alain, and I
thank you for your continued support.
Ton ami
Henri (HSE)
