Dear brother,

I shall be setting out from the Vale in a few days time. This note will hopefully find you before my arrival which I expect to be before the closing of the season, depending on the pace and any unforeseen circumstances.

My dear brother,

Thank you for your letter, I was happy to hear from you; and I am delighted to hear about your work, in which I would gladly assist any way I can.

I am loath to leave the Vale in this fair spring, yet I long to see again the fair land of Lindon and to look once more upon the Western Sea.

I cannot promise you that I will depart soon, though it may chance that I arrive come summer.

I will let you know.

Dear brother,

It is long since last we corresponded and I live here rather secluded, so you will excuse my brevity, for I have many things on my mind of late.
