Cher monsieur,
Would it be possible for you to provide us with the mod in a downloadable format ? We would all be much obliged.

Dear Mr. Alfredian,Dear Mr migsjalv
Are you suggesting that The Star should move into publishing boardgames [mods] as well as papers? Soon The Star will be a huge conglomerate with these diverse range of activities.
Yours sincerely
Mr A Alfredian
Dear Sir
First of all I must say that this is a most excellent issue, although the matter handled within it was deeply disturbing.
Indeed, reading about these heretics and their plan to undermine Louisianne has both shocked and disgusted me. I hope that this Joseph Smith is punished by the full extension of the law, we simply cannot allow this kind of behaviour.
Sincerely
Mssr. Sometimes
P.S.
Joseph Smith was called a prophet, dum, dum, dum, dum, dum.
Dear Sir,
It is clear that amicable co-existence of this religious community with the Acadiens in Osage is not possible. On the other hand, we can't abandon our responsibility toward these new citizens of Louisiana either. Like M. Alfredian suggests, let the the government grant them some land in the Northwest territories where they can go about their business -and pay tax- in peace.
Yours secularly,
M. Blanc
Dear Sir,
In the spirit of "Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite", let these Mormons stay and have their freedom. By repressing them, we become no better than the kings we overthrew, who slaughtered Huguenots for similar differences.
Sincerely,
Messr. E. F.
Dear Sir,
I am mortified to see that heretics like this would commit such atrocities against fine, law abiding citizens in our fair colonial regions. It is moments like this that it perhaps brings to question if American immigrants are truly worth it. I am aware not all are as these so-called "Saints" are, but this does present the question how we should handle matters with immigrants from the States.

Dear Sir,
I would like to reprint this letter written by cousin, Mnsr. Molyneaux, concerning the recent crisis in St.Louis:
It is the French tradition, dating back to the Revolution and continued by L'Empereur, to pursue laicism in government. As a Lafayettist I embrace these principles as should all Orleanois - not the state religion of Europe or the "freedom" to impress one's religion on others as in the United States, but an active and government pursued secularism for public society - allowing our Catholic values as a people to flourish in their private domain and allowing others to pursue their own religions, while maintaining a strong unified French culture. We should not force Catholicism on others, but neither should we allow others to dilute French culture with their religions; in a French state the freedom of religion must go both ways, must it not?
We are trying to build a unified society, a bastion of French civilization, are we not?
Dear Sir,
Outrageous! Simply outrageous! We opened our borders to the Americans, welcomed them in our homes and our farms and now a fringe group of extremists wants to create a state within a state?! I believe every man has the right to practise his/her religion of choice as long as it obeys the laws and institutions of the Nation. The idea of a "Kingdom of God" west of St Louis is simply seditious and should be dealt with as such. If the Americans won't take them back, the mexican desert is wide enough for them.
Yours sincerely,
M de Santiago
Dear Sir
In his indignation the M. le Bishop forgets that the threat of excommunication from the Catholic Church is unlikely to hold much fear for Protestants or these 'Latter Day Saints'.
Let us give them their parcel of wilderness. At least it will not be turned into a giant gambling den like some frontier towns.
Yours faithfully
Mr A. Alfredian
Dear Sir,
While the beliefs of this peculiar sect are certainly odd, and the legitimacy of this prophet of theirs dubious at best, that is not the most pressing issue in this situation. Far more important than petty theological squabbles is the matter of precedent this would set. If we were to allow these eccentrics their own private statelet on our national soil, how many others will be encouraged to arrive here in droves and demand the same? Every lunatic, heretic, subversive and criminal in the États-Unis who can muster a few thousand men and women under his banner will cross our borders and carve a piece of territory for himself! These "Saints" must either be firmly pressed to abandon their scheme, or expelled for sedition. The Northern departments, yet largely untamed, are the future of our great nation, and we must guard them with our lives.
In addition, I fear there must have been a printing error, or perhaps a mistake by one of your correspondents. Unless Monsieur Smith was a Catholic before his elevation to prophetic status, I hardly think excommunication has any effect upon him. Perhaps His Excellency the Bishop has merely correctly stated him to be anathema to all God-fearing men, as he preaches a false Gospel?
Regards,
M. de Salopard

Dear Mr. Alfredian,
It was my understanding that in past letters to the editor, once the publication had reached a certain progression point and that the kinks had been worked out, The Star would indeed release a board game of our history. However, perhaps the publishers have decided not to do this at this current point. I'm uncertain. I personally would enjoy it if it was released, as it could be a very educational and delightful game to educate my children-- and perhaps myself to a much lesser degree --on the grand country that is Louisiana.
With utter sincerity,
R.Q. Beauregard

No emigration from Saint Domingue? That place looks crowded.
