To Mister Elias Dimheim,
Madge in Bree-town is kindly writing this for me since she offered to do so today when I mentioned it to her. I also can't write or spell things very well yet. I've never sent anyone a letter before so I hope this is how it's done and that it gets delivered to your hands alright.
The pipe-weed blend you gave to my mother worked rather well and got her through this time of really bad pain though it did make her act a bit odd. She often found the most mundane things incredibly funny for a few hours at a time and almost ate everything we had stored up -- but you said to expect that, so I think that's normal, right? Other than that, it also seemed to relax her enough that she could actually get some sleep, which is important since she says that getting enough good sleep helps with her pain. I guess you could say it sort of exceeded her expectations and mine.
I hope this doesn't make you feel put out but I've spoken to our town's Mayor and she would rather I talk to her sister, Miss Ashwyneth, or Cesistya first when my mother needs extra care as both of them know a thing or two about healing and such. She has her reasons, I'm sure, and as someone under her employ and leadership, I'd do well to respect her wishes. However, I do think that it is a good idea for my mother to continue using this pipe-weed blend of yours since it really does seem to help her. I'm not sure how this will all work out. Maybe you have some ideas? I don't want to make anyone feel put out or disrespected but I also want what's best for my mother.
Well, that's all I have to say. If you want to reply, feel free to send me a letter either to Three-farrow Crafting Hall in the Market Square of Bree-town -- Madge will make sure I get it -- or to 3 Long Street in Everslade.
(Here the writing changes where the signature is added. It is clumsy looking but still legible. There is a dot of ink next to the end of it -- as if more letters were about to be formed before the writer hastily pulled the quill away from the parchment.)
-- Sera
