<DIV>Your Grace Duchess Willow de Wisp,</DIV>
<DIV>Your words and what You risk to voice them humble me. We in the Western
region have struggled for many years to overcome the "redheaded
stepchild" stigma we seem to have in regard to the rest of the Kingdom.
To have the utter support and love from the very first Queen of Ansteorra
amazes me. I don't know what the outcome will be but I can assure You that
we the Western Region will NOT go away, quietly into the night.</DIV>
<DIV>In Your Service,</DIV>
<DIV>Mistress Anna Mitrofanova</DIV>
<DIV> Baroness Bonwicke</DIV>
