Father,
I apologize for the suddenness of events, but I must leave town immediately. I am afraid I will no longer be welcome here, and I fear my family will face hard times should I stay. The lieutenant has been up to his favorite tricks again and this time I could not stand aside; the Thatcher family has seen enough grief without his crude advances making things worse, and I feel that, contrary to his education, an act of near-rape is not typically effective in making a woman's heart swoon with love.
In any case, I intend to head south. I have heard of a new settlement that is very nearly as remote as this one is, and I was never thrilled about the idea of becoming a lumberjack in any case. I shall write as the opportunity arises.
