Subaltern Louis,
Having so recently appeared in Paris (the end of September, if I am not
mistaken?), you will not be aware that my master makes a point of giving
newly arrived gentlemen of promise, such as yourself, a helping hand on
occasion.
My master has heard that you are currently embarrassed for want of a horse,
and has instructed me to offer you the run of his stables so that a suitable
steed may be chosen, should you so desire.
Phil Terre de Krapp,
Personal Private Secretary to Duc Alain de Mylcandonai
