Ed,
If you can believe it, I've managed to make myself feel guilty for not writing to you as often as I used to. That's a rather absurd sentiment, considering you have never and likely will never read a word of what I have written to you. Even so, being caught up in affairs of state makes me feel like I'm neglecting you.
There's not even much to say! We are still looking for Scar, but have not been able to find him. Some signs indicated he may have left East City, which would mean he is at least out of our hair. Then again, he so far has proven to be determined and crafty, as well as unbothered by taking life in order to accomplish his goals. With that being said, we may be able to relax a little, but I would still offer a word of caution to you.
Life is always busy as a Colonel (not that you believe that; I know you think I spend my days dilly-dallying around!), but I'll try to make time more often to update you on the various goings-on around here. Doing so has no practical purpose, and even if it did I doubt you would have much interest.
Still. I suppose I enjoy even pretending to communicate with you. How pathetic of me!
Embarrassedly yours,
Colonel Roy Mustang
