<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you <FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Duck
Raimond,</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I wish you to keep you ears in
the far lands all the better to hear rumors. Keep an eye on all from
Elfsea. Your keen mind or your true hart will keep them safe. In the last few
nights the moon has given off strange light Wednesday it turned blood red! Was
it the same where you are? I am Praying for guidance in this matter I will be
prostrate for two hours in the Family chapel for the next 3 days. Armand is
gathering troops and spies as I write. In him I place my love and trust. All
will be well soon.</FONT></DIV>
