I am really starting to get annoyed with them. The Luddite's have been protesting industrialism for weeks now. They have protested by cross dressing, attacking machines factories, and even having there leader Ned Ludd send threatening letters to us here in Nottingham. I spoke to one of the Luddite prisoners we captured and he said its not that they hate technology, but they hate the fact that it is being misused. Personally I think they are just mad because the machines are faster and make better quality wool and cotton. The machines put them out of the job and forced them to work in the factories.
As a soldier payed by the government I am completely against the Luddite's ways. Why would I support someone who is attacking there own country because they are mad that the machines took their jobs. Soon after the industrial revolution begun I was starting to get impacted by it. I was sent to Nottingham to defend a factory from some Luddite's that had been terrorizing it. I have been here for weeks trying to catch Ned Ludd so we can end this revolt for good, it is said he lives in Sherwood forest. Sadly though our stakeouts have proved useless because it seems he doesn't get his hands dirty.
I must end this letter here for I have another night of waiting and hoping that we can catch the man who caused this mess.
Your Cousin,
Ryan
