Lady Mithanor,

If it has not already reached your ears; I am duty-bound to return to Mirkwood in the coming month.

Given Malliel's condition, I am not willing to bring her into danger. Thus, I would be honoured if you could care for her in my stead.

It pains me to think of leaving her, but in your capable hands; I need not fret. I eagerly await your reply.

Regards,

Most honourable Lady Galadriel,

I have recieved your letter recently; and read the contents with a heavy heart. As you may know, my wife and I are with child.

But "duty 'afore hearts", and I will endeavour to carry out your request. Within this month, I will leave Eriador for home.

I will bring those that I feel should come.

Regards, Andarne of the Malledhrim Order.

Greetings, my friend.

Many months it has been, in the timings of Men, since you walked your home. I am hopeful that your marriage to your Lady is fruitful; and know that should you wish your children educated, the scholars are more than happy to oblige. But this letter is not without purpose.

I have an issue that needs resolving; and the hand of one of my finest is required.
