Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. Dear Journal, I am coming to loathe my cot. It is becoming a symbol for me of all that is most unpleasant here at Camp Moorhen: hard, cold, and not particularly well-suited to the purpose.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 13 Norwich Street, Yorke, Cumbria 19 January 1016 My dear cousin Amelia, Wackspallen has spoken: I am, most surprisingly, my father's only surviving male relation—at least so far as testamentary law is concerned.

Armand's First Letter. Amelia's First Letter. 13 Norwich Street, Yorke, Cumbria 12 January 1016 My dear cousin Amelia, Thanks to Master Eaves of the Ember and Sons Shipyards in Salisbury, I am now acquainted with far too many of the low taverns and gin-houses in that vicinity.
