From: Pte. Louis sur Dardtete, RFG
 
Captain de Lacey,
 
Congratulations on your recent appointment as Captain of the King's Escort. I must confess to being somewhat surprised, as Marquis de Santon gave no indication that he planned to retire when I enquired about admittance last month.
 
Enclosed is my application for the post of Trooper of the King's Escort. Given the current understaffing and the consequent danger to His Majesty's safety, I am eager to assume the role as swiftly as possible.
 
I look forward with great anticipation to your meeting on All Hallows Eve. Major Adique has gracefully offered to grant me leave from regimental duties for the night so that I may attend. Might I also be so bold as to bring along a bottle of rather fine wine that I have recently received, that I may toast your rumoured forthcoming "debate"?
 
In the hope that I may serve you with honour,
Louis sur Dardtete.
