: : : Dear Otto,
: : : It was good meeting you at Camerons' Cabin last night. Your arrack and Turkish Delight left me in good spirits, although I was feeling a bit hungover this morning. Your supply of Belgian pralines and Duvel beer has been taken care of.
: : : Once again, I must insist on your discretion in our little "alliance"; my trading partners are a suspicious and distrusting lot, who will only jump to the wrong conclusions.
: : : Oh, I almost forgot. There might be a way after all to solve the shortage in your harem. There are still some mail order brides running loose in the woods here. If they prove to be hard to find and catch, maybe some of the Angels of Mohicanland can be lured into your den.
: : : Sincerely,
: : : DT
: : Dear Otto and DT,
: : I beelieve there are now some Huron maidens looking for new wigwams, too. They have recently acquired unique dancing skills. You might check them out.
: : Brother of the Sagamore
: : The Bee Holder
: Dear Bee Holder,
: This is wonderfull news! The chances of satisfying my new customer are improving. Of course, dancing skills are always a pre. I think Otto M. will pass on dancing bears though.
: Respectfully,
: DT
: PS: Your recent sting operation impressed me. The fact that not all went according to plan proves your capability of improvisation at the moment. I might have need of your services in the future. Can I call on you? All forms of payment are negotiable (I will not be like the ungrateful Courier Editors in these matters).
Dear Dutch Trader,
Will trade 12 pale, whining, fainting ex-captives for 1 bar of Grandma's Lye Soap. Heading to Bumppo's Tavern.
She, etc.
