To Dear Theresa,
Please accept my most humble apologies for the lateness of my response to your post. We received orders, shortly before your missive arrived, to explore an area west of Lake George where a party of French and Indians had been sited. We were two days out getting there, and then scouted for a full day but found only cold remnants of a camp. On the way back to the fort, we encountered a severe storm and had to make camp, as much as we were able, as the fierce wind and snow made any progress impossible. We were late in returning by nearly two days but fortunately the entire scouting party returned unharmed. The winter has been more mild than the previous, to date, and so we were caught slighty by surprise, much to our chagrine.
That aside, please rest assured that I will do all that is possible to obtain for you a copy of the history of our expedition and the likeness of ourselves as recorded by those men from England this past October. I do indeed know where to send it to you when it is available.
I am humbled and flattered that you should be so interested in our history as you are!
I remain,
YMHOS,
Pvt. Chauncey
