Dearest mother —

The battleground has called for my return. After much contemplation, I have resolved to return to the battlefield alongside my comrades in the Barnstormers. Please understand that this decision is not made lightly. I shall return home soon. Resolute.

Dearest mother —
It is with a heavy heart I inform you our campaign has ended. Our unit fell to the Cardinal men on a snowy battlefield. While gutted, I am extremely proud of all our accomplishments week after week, day after day, fight after fight. I shall see you soon.

Dearest mother—
This weekend is our most important battle yet of this campaign. Cardinal men have requested battle. I know not the outcome, but our unit is as prepared as possible. The Wally Hoov, our beloved field of battle, shall be alive with anticipation and excitement.

Dearest mother —
It is with great honor that I share with you the receipt of this accolade. Captain Sacia held this honor for a reason, and I am humbled to follow in his footsteps. This would not have been possible without the support of my unit and, most importantly, you.

My time away from home shall be extended. The unit was victorious over the War Hawk men. Stupendous! It was a hard fought battle, but our lines held strong. I am so thrilled, my pen trembles as I write. My sword and resolve are true. I love you.

Dearest mother—
The week of carousing has concluded. We must get back to fighting form as a group of War Hawk Men seek battle and are on their way. Our men are in good spirits. Victory agrees with them, so we shall seek another. There is too much light in the tunnel now.

Dearest mother —
I shall not be returning home quite yet. Our unit has achieved a resounding victory against the Pirates, surpassing all expectations. My sword has never served me better. The unit is overcome with joy. It feels good. It feels right. I love you.

Dearest mother —
Happy Thanksgiving! I wish to be by your side, celebrating this special day. Pirates have been spotted sailing in our direction. Their reliance on cannons will be of no avail, as they must set foot on our home land. The men are ready for a fight. Resolute.

Dearest mother —
You may breathe once more for we were victorious over the Blueboys. They made feeble attempts to defeat us, but we were well-prepared for their antics. While victory is never a certainty, we exhibited such strength and skill that it was almost inevitable.
— Nile

[Capt. Nile McLaughlin @CaptNile8]

Dearest mother —
I look to the starry sky and wonder about the outcome of tomorrow’s battle. No matter the result, I count myself among the most fortunate to be a part of such a magnificent unit. And I’d be remiss to not sincerely thank you for the unwavering support.

Dearest mother —
A new week dawns upon us, signaling the beginning of a fresh campaign. Our path forward is obstructed by an opposing force known as the Blueboys. Though their name may be peculiar, they are a much capable unit. No bother. Our focus remains unfazed.
