Dear Mattie
The war is getting out of hand. I don't think France even remembers that HRE is just a child! Romano has been writing Felincio and me, keeping us up to date on things. Apparently, HRE was afraid that if he left he would never come back. I don't blame him. France is scaring me. I know I'm his knight and all, but this is ridiculous! He's fighting a war with a child, for God's sake! It's not right, but there's not much I can do about it… It's 2:12 now Mattie, and I feel like I'm going to be sick. Romano wasn't kidding when he said that wine was hard on the stomach. I'm beginning to regret drinking both bottles in one sitting. I should try to sleep anyways, I hate going to work hungover, but I guess that's life for you.
Yours Truly
