The people of Tripoli are steady working on the fort being raised there. We use the lull to send messages between the families and their soldiers. Much word arrives about how we shall soon be victorious over or enemy, for their sake I hope fate smiles upon us. Though I do not see any real trouble out of the remaining Egyptians, surprises are known to happen. An emissary should be dispatched to try and make terms for a ceasefire once we take Sinai, else we will constantly need to watch over our shoulders. With the capture of Palestine, we should be able to increase revenues in a few years. We have taken some rich lands, and some not so rich lands, but the Egyptians have lost much. Eyes must now be turned to our other neighbor, for it would not surprise me if he is not looking our way. Also I hear the vile dogs leader, some call him the Pope, may even send armies to capture 'the holy land' from us. If they should take up arms against us, we must be ready. These things I relay to you my Sultan, and now I must go prepare my troops for the upcoming battle for Sinai.
