Dear Miss Cymaru,
I'm writing to let you know that my big sister Bethlan won't be able to work for the next week. She passed out in the kitchen on her shift yesterday. A kind patron took her to a bed and had a healer check her out. Seems she has a fever. Hope it won't be too serious.. our dear mum passed from one.
I'm currently at Bethlan's house looking after her. Please give Barliman our thanks for his help. Hopefully you won't be too short of staff.
Kind regards,
Jedley Thorne (Bethlan's brother).
