Mon Cher Colonel,
It is without doubt irritating, that you choose yet again to hide in the safety and comfort of some trees. I am glad to hear that your ranks were suitably reduced by the efforts of valliant French marksmen. There is no doubt that overwhelming French numbers led to the sad depletion of your "heroic" little band of "Brothers. Shame you should come away unscathed especially after "Madame made a "Special Appearance" on your account
War can be an evil thing mon ami. It ill behoves you to take credit for an ill placed shot. If the lead was intended for "Moi", then I am sad to say that "crosseyed Kurt from Koblenz" was sadly astray, or indeed, seriously needs to visit Herr Zeiss and order a new pair of spectacles
Alas, his shot did find someone of importance, and the knowledge has only recently reached my Corps.
Whilst you again "ave" chosen to hide from me, I can understand that you were under severe pressure from another of our "GLORIOUS FRENCH CORPS".
On my part, I must congratulate your commander with the skillful use of his Cavalry, and their tenacity, bravery, and downright impertinence in the face of the Imperial French Cavalry.
My thoughts on this matter extend to your conspirators in arms, those "PESKY DAMNED RUSKIES". Prince Andrei was very capable, and I rue the loss of the Glorious 10th to his overwhwhelming numbers. I am glad to say that his Litovski Regiment paid the ultimate price, as did the overwhelming number of his cavalry command.
The ultimate FRENCH victory was at no inconsiderable cost in manpower, not least, in the loss of our beloved Emporer.
Now please translate this into lingua "Franca" that the civilised world may understand the true nature of the failings of you and your allies
As global victors in this campaign, we shall be pursueing those who have offended our office. YOUR NAME IS ON DE LIST, MON AMI, AND "MADAME" IS YET TO BE SATISFIED
KELLERMAN
