Your Lordship,
I have obtained the diaries as you ordered.
The books should be in your Agent's hands before you read this. The old Cleric proved to be more capable than we
could have thought. I took some serious wounds while subduing him. It will be another day or so before I am able to travel
at normal speed.
Domalyn, the one who slew the agent you sent to retrieve the books twelve years ago, is being attended to as I write
this. He is an old man now living on a small farm north of Kiddeky Crossing. I sent a force sufficient to the task.
I know that your Agent is not scheduled to arrive at the way station for a few days yet, but I thought it best to send a
Sergeant ahead with the books so there will be no delay if his party arrives earlier than anticipated. I will follow when I am
able.
I should be able to take care of the other matter we discussed in a timely manner. It would be helpful if you could
