<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Good Sir Tomas,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I rejoice in your elevation, and
regret that I was not able to be present for it, and for your vigil, where I
would have told you what I tell you here (and what you doubtless already
know):</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Knighthood is not what you do,
it is who you are. Every day, people will be looking to you for an example
of the best way to live a life, and your challenge is to be worthy of the trust
bound up in that. The accolade is but the beginning of a journey, and the
belt and chain are but reminders of the path that remains to be
walked. I do not know Duncan, but am sure that he is a worthy exemplar if
he had the wisdom to accept you as associate, friend, and Peer.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Be well, Sir Tomas, and also
those of your house. I drink your health, and pray you remember me to your
Good Wife, Rixende. You and yours continue in my thoughts and prayers, and
against that day when we may cross swords and clasp as friends, I am, and hope
to remain,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
Ever in
Service, AEdward of Glastonburh, called the
Saxon</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
