: Dear Editors,
: As we agreed upon in our earlier negotiations, I have been going back and forth, left and right, up and down, and witnessed a shocking collection of dirty deals, practical "jokes" and other wrong-doings. However, everything pales in comparison to what is happening right now!
: The French Trader, the Dutch Trader and the notorious E. Lane are having a secret meeting at Cameron's Cabin as we speak. Liquor is flowing freely, as well as tasteless Hawkeye jokes. In fact, they are getting along wonderfully! Need I say more? If these shady and shadowy types actually come to an agreement, we will witness the rise of the first Mohican Maffia!
: There is no time to lose. Forget the pathetic Courier reporters. Send in the cavalry! NOW!
: The Go-Between
Dear Go-Between,
Your worst nightmare has been realized. An agreement has been reached with further negotiations pending.
Free flowing liquor, tasteless Hawkeye jokes, hysterics ... too bad Dr. Mary wasn't invited, eh?
So, you Courier snoop, you fear for the well being and peaceable living in Mohicanland? Well you should, too.
Not only have the Dutch Trader, le Francais Trader, and my notorious self come to a mutual "understanding", we
we have discovered the whereabouts of Jo's horse. (Anyone interested in dried horse meat?)
A Mohicaan Mafia ... sounds inviting. Prepare yourself for an economic boom to Mohicanland. The Dutch Trader has even proposed
the organization of a secret Ratelwacht in honor of New Amsterdam!
Vengefully yours,
E. Lane
