May the sixth, 1962
Dearest mother,
Two fortnights have passed since my arrival at The Boar’s Head Inn. Lieutenant Crawford has declared a neutral state for the duration of the war, but I am conflicted. I would die for this man, but I will not die for my country. My love to you and Father. Remember to keep young Susanna away from the windows, as I fear it will be a cold winter.
All my love,
Josiah Ashburn, Whetherman
