Letter To a Good Friend

The Letter To a Good Friend is an in-character Smugglers letter from Marita to Henry Every, complaining that someone is hunting Smugglers caches all over the Caribbean and asking him to lay low. The letter is the proof that the legendary Henry Every is still alive in the game's timeline and is, in fact, the head of the Tortuga smuggling network.

In-Game Text

Henry, you treacherous cabrón,

Whom have you pissed off this time? Some madman is chasing my people all over the Caribbean.

Half of our caches have been destroyed, and suppliers are refusing to deal with us. We've lost dozens of shipments, and we'll lose plenty more if you don't resolve this.

We can barely hide from Blackbeard's cutthroats, and now this new mess on top of it.

We're going to lay low for a while. I'd advise you do the same, since the bounty for your cunning ass has not been lifted.

Sort this shit out, and maybe we can finally share a drink at the tavern again.

Marita

Lore Context

The 'Henry' in this letter is Henry Every, the same legendary pirate the Twist of Fancy Exquemelin note is named after. The 'madman chasing my people' is almost certainly Blackbeard's expanding crew, the same crew the Marcel Boucher diary chain documents. Marita's letter ties the Smugglers and Buccaneers narratives together via the Blackbeard antagonist.
