My darling Millicent,

I am taking just a few minutes to jot you this note to let you know that I won't be returning to London as previously expected. Events are going on that you will doubtless hear of soon enough and I have been ordered to travel to Belgium as one of the representatives from England to Albert, King of the Belgians.

Circumstances being as they are, it is difficult for me to know when I might be able to write again. If nothing else, I shall endeavor to send you a postcard from Brussels to at least let you know that I arrived safely.

Keep alert and keep yourself safe, my dearest. While I have hopes that I am being needlessly pessimistic, I fear I am actually being overly optimistic.

With love,

Alexander
