We all have that "friend"
No matter what, life is crap for them. They hate their job. They hate home life. They blame the President, The State or any other person, group or thing. The problem is never them. It is always somebody else.

Or...he could have written the letter a week before posting it
As J.L. himself points out, the weather the previous couple of weeks appears to have been really very nasty. This lobsterback certainly wouldn't have been the first soldier (or the millionth) to start writing a letter home in a few spare moments and not get around to finishing it till quite a bit later.
But sure, y'all can assume the worst about some poor shlub two and half centuries dead now, fighting people who looked and sounded just like the loved ones he'd left back home half a world away...

Your table at Tres Gatos is ready.

Nothing new
Complaining about the weather is a time honoured British pastime.
