Day 23: a letter to someone. Anyone

Hehehe, lucky yours truly (luck of the Irish much?) is writing a book with a lot of letters that the characters write to each other.

It's gonna be abbreviated because I don't want to spoil anything, but here you are.

We've got one man, Phillip McAllister, who's sort of keeping us together. Fearless little thing, a lot like [SPOILER]. I think Cal's 19. You've never seen a man so sure things will be all right. He's not foolish about it; he knows we all might die. He just doesn't seem bothered by the thought. He's a gentle soul, always seems a bit broken after a deadly fight, but he pulls himself out of it pretty quick. He's always on about everyone else, and all his family back in Inverness. Kid's only a private, but he sure watches our hides. I hope that's me as well.

Well, there you are, Pete. Write back as soon as you can, yeah? I'm sending Kathy something as well. That [SPOILER] is probably going to need an answer pretty soon.

Right, that's it. Take care and don't be dead. Thanks for letting me know about it all, mate.
Richard
