SpoilerFull text of the letter
They say Dufour has gone, slipped away in the night. He is named traitor now, wanted for desertion. They say he stole something, something of great value.
Yet I will not lie to myself: each of us has thought of it... To run until the Empire is but a shadow, to leave the war behind.
Perhaps he was weaker, or perhaps only braver...
Truth is, the thought of escape lingers in every heart that beats beneath this cursed eagle.
