Dearest Mother,

I have been recognized as an official Captain. As the season draws near I must prepare my wagon to travel the plains. Send McKayla my regards.

Dearest Mother,

Camp has commenced. The men are resolute, though the sun bears down like cannon fire. General Venables exercises have prepared me for the obstacles ahead. Spirits remain high. Young recruits show promise. If God wills it, we shall be battle-ready for the wolverines.

God willing,
Captain Mateer

Dear Mother,
The prognosticators continue to cast doubt upon General Venables’ ability to muster the finest unit in the Republic. Their slanderous underestimation shall not be forgotten, nor shall it go unanswered. We march forward, undeterred by such incompetent malice.

Dearest Mother,
General Venables hath summoned myself, Capt. Spears-Jennings, and Capt. Thomas to parley with the enemy in Atlanta. We march wary of rat poison and pre battle expectations. Sgt. Schmidt readies the men for autumn’s campaign.
