General le Duc Alain de Mylcandonai, OC First Army, to Captain le Vicomte Guy d'Jour, OC A Troop, His Majesty's Dragoon Guards, Greetings!
Mon Cher Guy, I note that your appointment as my aide is up for renewal. Your fulfilment of your duties has been adequate and I would have no hesitation in reappointing you to the post if you so wish (though this would be contingent upon your purchase of one of the vacant Majorities so as to hold the rank now requiried). It could well be that you would rather lead a squadron in the course of the forthcoming campaign, however, so as to gain some command experience? Please aquaint me of your wishes at your earliest possible convenience. General le Duc Alain de Mylcandonai First Army
