From Marjoram, Mother Abbess of Redwal Abbey

Dearest friend,

I send you heartfelt greetings and best wishes for your continued good health. My thanks for the gift of the beautiful y crafted bel ropes. I am sure they wil help to tol our Abbey bel s for untold seasons to come. I hope you are pleased with the enchanting young badger Ambrevina. Her presence wil grace your mountain, and I am certain that one day she wil become a worthy successor to you.

It is a delight for us to have two young hares with us. Only last afternoon, I took tea in the orchard with their mother, Clarinna. What a remarkable creature she is, having started a gardening and nature study class for our Dibbuns. Cal a and Urfa are dear little babes. They wil grow into fine leverets.

dastron! Buckler and Diggs are a credit to your Long Patrol. I was sorry as were a lot of others, to see them leave us. Our population at the Abbey has swel ed somewhat, since now we have Axtel

Sturnclaw, Mumzy Water Vole and the entire Witherspyk Company staying with us permanently. Come one, come al , as long as they are good and honest beasts, that's what I've always said. We are

blessed by the seasons, happy to live amidst peace and plenty and strengthened by growing numbers of friends. What more could one ask?

Log a Log Jango sends you his good wishes. I think you and he have met before.

My chief desire would be to gaze from Redwal 's west battlements one morn and see you marching at the head of your gal ant Long Patrol, roaring out a stout marching song as you come to visit us. Do you think this would be possible? Next summer would be nice. We would love to have you al here with us. Friar Soogum has promised a feast that wil go down in the Annals of Redwal . I myself wil tol the bel s special y for you.

Brang, old friend, I know you wil honour us with your presence. You and any other one who is honest and true wil find joy, happiness and peace at my Abbey. Redwal wil always be here with a welcome for al .

Marjoram, Mother Abbess of Redwal Abbey in Mossflower Country
