Dear Abigaile,
The battle is going surprisingly well against this mighty foe. The morale of the troops has been boosted after early victories. The 700 troops that got lost during the failed flanking of the previous battle have been found and have joined in on this battle.
I am happy to say that there is no rain hammering down our troops. The typhoon fever which raged through our troops in the previous battle has relented and the health of our troops is better. A huge pushback of the enemy recently has boosted morale even more.
Please do not sell the farm and marry another just yet. Victory could be at hand.
Yours truly,
General Andrew Luck.
