Sergeant Domitan to Lady Knight Keladry
Kel,
Don't worry about my mother; I've reminded her that my two younger sisters are still single. That should distract her for a while. Anyway, this is also a note to say that Third Company is off to the Drell River basin at short notice, and Raoul says we should be prepared for a long stay if the rumours about Tusaine are correct. I don't know when we'll see each other again, but I'll write as soon as we reach our posting. Please give Neal my congratulations—I assume you've heard the news? And tell him I'm sorry that I didn't get to give it in person. Let's hope the baby takes after its mother. But maybe don't tell him that.
Remember to look after yourself while you run around looking after everyone else.
Dom
