My Darling,

It had been several moons since we last exchanged words but I wanted to let you know that I have not stopped thinking about you since. The days go by slowly but each day I feel closer to you. My service is almost over, but I fear that my days will go by slower each time, but I would enjoy nothing more than to feel your touch. To the Courier or Mail Mare that receives this letter and delivers it safely to my dearly beloved, you have my greatest thanks. The attachment to this letter holds something very dear to us and I will have no choice but to send it to the safety of our home, but my wish is that it is not opened it until my return.

Deepest love

Your Little Soldier.
