[Bryn-gwlad] LAND COURT

[James Crouchet]

Your Excellency,

I regret that I cannot attend You at Your court today as I prepare my
troops to answer the Crown's call to war.

I must also beg Your indulgence and ask for an extension of time on my
taxes. This is not from want of funds but because those who normally
would collect and count the taxed are girding for war or engaged in the
clerk duties that accompany the movement of troops. I hear there are
rich prized to be had in this war so I expect to send back riches
similar to those I returned to the barony in the last Tirmarian campaign.

Respectfully,

Baron Christian Jérôme Doré
