Your Excellency -
I want to publicly say that my recent travels thru your lands was very nice.
Even though your new gate guards have a strange sense of humor. (When I
first came up to the gate, they refused to grant me passage). And when my
son mentioned that I was a great-bearded Buddha Belly, they jumped all over
themselves to open the gate for me.
But please understand that, I am very sorry for not stopping and visiting
with you, but I was traveling through the lands of Bonwicke as I had
business in the Shire of Adlersruhe. But in my travels, I did spend some
time talking with a lot of fine people about the current state of the
preparations that you are making in the Barony, and they are all impressed
with the needed upkeep of the Kings-road that goes from Treloc to
Adlersruhe -- I must say that you have done a real good job on it too.
Heck, I bet you could march a whole army on it now without anyone, breaking
an ankle. You even impressed ole-man A.C. Kerly, You know the old-man that
lives just north of the wall you have just built and you know how hard-nosed
he is about things.
Anyway, I finally ended up staying the night in the Shire of Adlersruhe
and after seeing the sights there, and taking care of a bit of business, I
returned back home all safe and sound. But I did want to thank your fine
soldiers who gave me them 12 new horses. Are these men new to your lands?
I only ask, as I have not seen them before. Anyway, they stopped me at the
waterwell in La Mesa, while I was watering my poor ole' animals, and when I
approached their animals, to get a better look at the excellent horses, your
men stood in front of me and all they would say was 'Chain horses, gift for
the wondrous U!' Your Excellency, I was so impressed, and thankful, I went
and made them a fresh fish salad using some of those new fast growing fish I
found in a store in Aldersruhe. You know the ones that when you catch them
they swell up to three times their normal size. Your men were so impressed
they ate their meal with plenty of something they called 'ice', and then
they went and fell asleep under a few nearby trees, they must have been
trying to find me for sometime to give me those horses, because they were so
tired they did not even wave good-bye to me when I left.
But the reason for this message is to let you know that whomever sold you
those horses, your excellencies, does not know his horse-flesh very well so
to speak. As these 12 horses; while it is true - that they are perfectly
matched and being the purest white color I have seen in years - they have
not been trained at all in pulling and they know nothing about being chained
to a plow, or wagon for that matter. But don't fret your excellency, I will
gladly take the time to train them to the duties required for farm-work.
But I thought you might want to question your 'Master of Horses' more
closely in the future, as these fine animals, are to me more suited for the
tasks related to the battlefield then the farm field.
Again Thanks for the Horses.
