<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Every one keeps calling it a wall, it is
just a small humble fence. From the way you guys talk, you would think that even
the August Personage of Jade could see the fence from his great hall in heaven.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Yes, I am the defender of Trelac and
Blacklake, at one time, I was defender of every branch in the former Western
Region (with the notable exception of Bonwicke). I have not to my knowledge ever
failed in my duties to any of those branches, nor do I now. It would seem more
like the branches in the area have forgotten what Bonwicke has done for them
over the years. I can not be all that bad, you do not hear Bonwicke complaining,
do you?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> The people causing trouble are not mine. I
just set out to build a small fence.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In humble service, I remain,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">Yes, Gerold,
don't be deceived, but who is doing the deceiving? Baron Chiang
was also named the Defender of Trelac and look what that has gotten us.

<DIV

<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I now
ask: "Where, oh Baron, is your defense of noble Trelac?" Why do you
build walls between friends? Why to you lie to cover your actions?
With defenders such as you we may need more enemies. </DIV>
<DIV
style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: arial, helvetica, sans-serif">I once
thought of you as a friend and defender of all that is honorable and
good. What do you hope to gain by building a wall? I have
not known you as long as some, but I always thought you to be an honorable
man. What has happened since you have become a Baron? What has
happened to the good men and women of Bonwicke? Have you come under some
evil spell? Are you listening to those who would fill your head with
visions of wealth and ambition? The small shire of Trelac certainly has
nothing to gain by promoting hostilities between us. I beg you to turn
from the path of you are taking, and become a Defender and friend of
Trelac once more.</DIV>
