The correspondence of Lt. Henry Wooster


From: Flag Lieutenant Wooster, HMRN

To: Sir Cosmo Cowperthwaite

Regarding: Personnel

Cosmo,

I have some concerns about the personnel we have in our group, mainly that
we don't have enough. A paltry roster 20 (22 including the canines) has
created problems of resolving these critical Matters of State we seem come
up against every other week.

Having had my new command for some time here, and having occasion to think
over this problem as our own Coven Domestique blazes away at our enemies, I
thought I would pass on my... well, thoughts on the matter.

I asked my man Caine to take this down a few times, but he always seems to
have a report to write off or a touch of mending on my uniform to do. So,
here I take pen to paper and put forth my suggestions.

Firstly, I suggest we beef up our complement of artillery and long rifle
capable personnel. I had in mind a couple of the lads down at the
Bombard's club.

Secondly, we really need at least two musicians. Not the least of which
would be a good baritone tuba player, and a oboe-ist (or oboe-er, or is that
oboii?).

Lastly, but not the least, I think it would be advantageous if we had along
a member of the fair gender who would be able to help us infiltrate what my
sister Agatha calls the "modern scourge", dance halls. Specifically exotic
dancers.

I think that with these lads and lasses along we would have jolly good time
bringing those who snub justice and trod on our green and pleasant land with
really heavy boots to er... justice.

I do hope you take my suggestion with all due seriousness.

At your service,

Lt (Flag) Wooster,
