Letter to Mularik's Company Regimental Healer

To Broar Hofarson, Regimental Healer Mularik's Company,
I wish to inform you of my disappointment in your announced intention to leave the Company and join the Guards.
Naturally the desire to progress is to be lauded and the Guards may well be seen as the pinnacle of military service.
Obviously, you leaving Mularik's company would be to the detriment of the regiment as it heads to the front and I had hoped that for the sake of the regiment and its soldiers, you will continue to minister to our wounded comrades.
It is my duty however, to look after all of those in my command and seek their best interests. In this case, I believe that your best interests are to remain with Mularik's Company. Allow me to explain.
You may not realise this, but your approach to life is somewhat unconventional - even idiosyncratic. Fortunately, in a magical regiment, we can be tolerant of individual foibles as such behaviour is quite usual to those with magical aptitude. The Guards, however, as is right and proper, are a very formal regiment. Rigorous discipline, conventional behaviour and knowing one's place are de rigueur in this formation and I fear you may rapidly fall foul of the standards of etiquette necessarily required by the Guards.
This concern for your welfare may be something that you may not appreciate, so let me add a further matter.
Mularik's regiment has operated at the front for some time and has gained veteran status. The officers have won valuable experience and are now highly effective in leading this force. Let me be clear, I am in no way criticising the commanders of the Guards who, I have no doubt are brave and capable. It is only that the Company's recent experience at the front has given them, in my view, a combat edge over all other forces in the service of our gracious King.
All of this means that if you are seeking fame and fortune (and such behaviour is to be encouraged) then remaining with Mularik's Company gives you best chance of succeeding in your ambitions. Military success is a prerequisite for glory and honour.
With all this in mind, you will therefore be delighted to know that I have spoken to the commanders of the Guards and explained how it would be best for all concerned for you to remain with Mularik's Company. I am sure you will be grateful for how Mularik's Company looks after its own and I wish us all a successful campaign that prospers the cause of the Kingdom and also its soldiers.
Rufus Bronzer - Acting Commander, Mularik's Company.
