Dearest Darlingest Dread Lord

Dread Lord

I have the itchy feet, and I am finding it exceedingly difficult to settle myself in one city at the moment. I do not wish to cause you distress or difficulty, but I will be effectively a non-entity within the Freehold for the upcoming season while I deal with my personal issues. Assuming nothing untoward happens to me, I will return in the appropriate season to swear loyalty to Autumn. Please pass along the enclosed note to the Good King Richard, with my complements at your earliest convenience.

Once I return, we can talk about the crow's feet. I am sure I can resolve them to your satisfaction so you need no longer loose sleep over their presence.

May the Gentry Choke on their own Poisoned Fruits and Beware Broken Mirrors
Mr. Moon

Letter to Rich

Good King Richard

My congratulations on your presumed ascension this summer. I apologize for not being able to attend, but I have personal issues I must address. Fawkes informed me that this was an appropriate gesture and that it would not offend you. If that is not so, you will be able to take it up with me when Autumn rolls around.

For Fawkes' sake, please encourage him to become involved with music. I believe that he needs something that is not constant work to defend the Freehold to give him a healthy outlet. I think it would be good for him to have some kind of music lessons. I will deny writing this and denounce it a forgery, should you show it to him. Treat him well.

Give the Gentry What They Deserve and Avoid Crows in Groups of More than Three
