Subaltern Ho, I have spoken to Brigadier le Forban about your situation, and he has agreed to put in a good word for you. As it happens, my lady April is friendly with the Governor's wife and will also mention your application - you know how these things work, I am sure... It is no guarantee, of course, but I sincerely hope that your application is successful and look forward to welcoming you to the ranks of the King's Escort. Jean de Lacey Captain, King's Escort
