Found Letter

Garrick—

Camp was already quiet when I reached it. No sentries at the gate. No smoke except old coals, and nobody answered when I called.

I found signs that people left in a hurry, but not all in the same direction. Someone has been moving through the trees north and east of the camp. Not a road. Cut brush, broken limbs, dragged weight. Easy to miss from below.

I can see the line better from the tower. It runs through several small clearings before the trees hide it again. I'm going to follow it far enough to learn where it leads.

If I don't come back, start with the North Track and watch the ground where the brush gets thin.
