I don't own these people :) Enjoy!
To Colonel RE Hogan,
You don't know me, but I know of you. My name is Mavis Newkirk, although I suppose you already saw that from the envelope. My brother is Corporal Peter Newkirk, one of the other prisoners, and from what he's said in his letters you know him fairly well. You ought to know he has a great deal of respect for you.
I write you with a simple request, and that is to take care of my brother. He's an idiot. The sod was always getting into trouble even at home, where he wasn't at war with any of the people he pissed off. Now he is, and although he only writes about staying in the cooler (it sounds like a pretty self-explanatory title to me), I imagine there must be a bit more than that to worry about. And maybe it's stupid, me writing a request for you to keep an eye on just a corporal, out of what must be at least a few hundred, but Peter's a bit thick, too, so it runs in the family, then. But Peter speaks well enough of you, which is really saying a lot, so you must have done something right.
Thank you very much for your time. I wish you the best of luck in your command, especially considering it's about a thousand times harder to deal with since you've got Peter and that little French friend of his to deal with. Take care of yourself, too, it just wouldn't be cricket to lose the only officer Peter actually respects. And don't tell him about this letter, either, or he'll be right pissed at me.
Thank you,
Mavis Newkirk
