My dear brother, …as it now seems we will next meet on the field of battle, I take up my pen to remind you of my eternal affection… I cannot ever count you as just another face in the ranks of enemies and I pray that you too will think of me as your brother, and not as one who stands in the way of your victory.
I pray that when this bloody war is done, we may meet again and take hands as brothers and forget those things that have in the past divided us.
For I am ever your beloved brother.
