I don't own Hetalia okay? I don't have much else for this opening. Anyway, enough of this A/N, on with the fic!

Dear Al,
Katy is going to mail this out tomorrow as it is late and the post office is obviously closed. But this job is finally getting to me. They keep asking me to do so much and I hardly ever see Katy or the kids anymore. Like I am risking my neck out there for them on some stupid law to keep them well fed and warm and all that nonsense. Just how did you not scream? I get now just how you were feeling before the transfer. Good to know you find your job fulfilling now. I know you are so lucky that your fellow marshals won't have to tell Natalya any bad news. Maybe if you completely disregarded Ivan's wishes he'd still be alive. Nah, there was no guarantee they'd have put you in the same spot.
I've been accompanying either federal agents or local police, who neither really care if they arrest anyone except for when the media is around. Have to make it look good when everyone freaking knows everyone is drinking anyway. I'm thinking of looking for something quieter. I know this was a lot like what I used to do before the war, but after that, and all this, I really don't know. I just want to take Katy out to Yosemite frankly because she won't stop talking about how beautiful it is. Yeah I do have to agree with her on that, it is beautiful but the rate this is going I will be lucky to have Christmas off. It's really making Chadwick sad, he likes spending time with me and I am crushed myself.
Although I got a letter from your old boss Mr. Seward today wanting me to meet him at your old office next Sunday. What the hell could he want from me? I know he greatly respected you and Ivan but me? I think he barely knew I existed outside of being your brother. I don't know. All I know is I want a job with some peace and quiet where I am not being sent all over the place doing stupid stuff and I can just come home and see my kids and wife again. I miss Katy's kielbasa and other foods she makes for dinner. It's often just left in the pot for me to reheat as she had already put the kids to bed and fallen asleep reading on the couch. It's sickening. I don't know if it is the stress of the job, the shame I feel or what but I feel as if Ivan is mad at me. I mean technically we got the house from his passing, but I do not like the feeling that even in death he's hounding me and thinking that I am doing his sister and the niece and nephew he never met wrong. Yeah like I wanted that! Not.
I'm sorry, but I don't know. At this point if Mr. Seward is offering me your old job, I would take it. It's funny, Christmas is not too far away and it would be the first we spent apart in a long time. Well in about 6 years. But that's not the point. If I can't have the rest of my family with me, I will make sure I have that day for my wife and kids. I mean Louise is already begging me for a new doll. Well she really listened to what you said and keeps telling me to tell Santa she's been so very good and wants a brand new Raggedy Ann. She doesn't like the Andy I got her saying it's a boy and gave it to Chadwick. Dumb reason I know, but at least she gave it to her brother rather than throwing a tantrum I guess. I kind of envy you Al. Finally got it together, wife, kids and a job you actually like. And from what Katy is telling me, Natalya told her that you don't even have to stay too long away from them when you are called for extended assignments.
Well it's getting late and I can at least hold onto my wife before I have to go to work again.
Your brother,
Matthew Williams
So how was that? Good? Bad? Short? Long? Let me know in a review. I don't quite know how long this one will be just yet as the other I had a more defined plan. But the way it is going this one will be longer than the other. One is over a few years, this a whole decade practically. Anyway, remember to read (well you just did) and to review. Ciao for now,
