Dearest S,

You do not wish to hear this but there are things that need to be said all the same.

Please forgive me for doing my duty. I do not do this lightly. I know that I owe nothing to the ghosts of my comrades. This new war is on an unprecedented scale and I fear for the men who would be my sons and grandsons.

Remember also that I did forgive you the Reichenbach incident.

You are the brother I should have had and it would be a tragedy for us to part in anger.

JHW

September 1914

.oOOo.

Please sign the guestbook

Supplementary Notes: To all my JWP comrades over the years: You have enriched my life and ruined my sleep for twelve years and I wouldn't have it any other way. I know our paths will cross in the future so farewell until then, my (our) beautiful community.

Aw, it's been a pleasure! I will always remember your Bricks without Clay and Roy stories.
