Dirt-smeared letter

Dirt-smeared letter is a cut content book in , still present in the game files, but only obtainable through console commands.
It is related to a battle between Clan Drummond and pirates that they were intended to have a conflict with. Data for almost all of it is still in the game files, largely unused but a few things can still be seen during gameplay - a poster with a "call to arms" type of message can still be seen in Holmstein, Drummond guards appear at the bandit camp to the northeast after it is cleared, and there are two drakkars on the nearby shore - all remnants from the same larger event or quest. The battle would've taken place between the drakkars and the bandit camp and the "living world" around Holmstein would change significantly after its end, with related chatter by the locals, celebratory posters, and ghouls infesting the battlefield.
This particular letter was supposed to appear in the middle of three southern huts at Holmstein, presumably after the battle. Another one written by a pirate was also supposed to be found, on the beach between the two ships, but was either never added in or erased after the content in question was scrapped.

:Son,
:I'm telling you for the last time, give up that diving nonsense, or one of these times a sea devil's gonna drag you you to the bottom and that'll be the end of that. Besides, you could dive down into that water day and night and you'd never find any wrecks - the battle against the pirates was long ago, and the current's strong near the shore, so their ships have been swept far out to sea by now. You wanna get rich? Go raiding like the other lads, and cut out this tomfoolery.
