Michael Hardy's Letter

The Michael Hardy's Letter is a doomed letter from Michael Hardy, a Children of the Ark informant, to his lover Letty. He promises to slip away from the cult, sell the leader's secrets to the Governor, and start over in Boston.

In-Game Text

Dearest Letty,

I swear to you, I'll be back soon. None of the Children of the Ark will ever reach us. I managed to slip away unnoticed and get in touch with one of the Governor's men. He promised to help us if I tell him everything about the cult's leader and his dark dealings. We'll even have money, Letty.

Wait for me on Tortuga, my dear. We'll go to Boston and start a new life. We'll open a shop and forget this nightmare ever happened.

Now then, the captain is calling for me. He wants me to hide in my cabin, because some ship has appeared on the horizon. It must be the Governor's people.

Just a little longer, Letty.

I love you. Yours, Michael Hardy

Lore Context

The 'ship on the horizon' Michael describes is almost certainly not the Governor's people, given that the letter ends abruptly with him hiding in his cabin and the letter is found by the player rather than delivered to Letty. The Children of the Ark cult is referenced in multiple lore items as a Senkamati-adjacent group active in the modern game timeline.
