My charming friend,

No one pilfers from an Irishman, it's a rule. They keep us around for luck remember? I will keep all of these safe and write as often as I can. That said, I also sent a letter to Martin today as well. Please make sure he reads it. It's nothing bad.

I always expect nothing and you always surprise me with to much. Hopefully I'll be home before the hay needs saving, they say we have the huns on the run.

Your a silly woman, Emily, I miss you more than words can say.

Your faithful friend
- Jude

Dear Emily,

Someone sent me a letter post marked from him but the writing was all wrong. I let him know about it. It wasn't anything serious but the fact someone is impersonating him was bothersome. Much less writing to a foolish paddy like me. Nothing to gain there.

I just hope the impersonator is found. Your brother's good name is important as the next lord.

You already having suitors banging down the door? And without me there to scare them off and give them Herculean trials to win your favor? A crime. Though if you do settle down, the man would be a lucky one. Its gotta either be you or Joanna, men only come calling early for one reason. They come calling at night for the other.

You can write me about anything, your words are uplifting in this hellish place. My Highland friend is dead, he was hit with an artillery shell yesterday.

Your faithful friend
- Jude
