Hope you've fully recovered from that nasty sailing incident. As they say, alcohol and boats just don't mix.
The attached came in on yesterday's ship from the Havens, and I thought you would enjoy the memories and prefer to get your message first hand. You'll be amused to find you seem to have started a tradition with the three E's all those years ago. Still no idea when they'll finally pack up and sail, but patience is everything, I suppose. Though no, I realise even a stay in the Halls hasn't convinced you of that. I find it a relief to be honest: I have met several old acquaintances whose stay with Lord Namo has left them subtly changed. It's good knowing I can't say that about you - life needs some constancy.
We'll no doubt see you at several-times-great grandfather's festival dinner. Always a pleasure to watch the heralds trying to announce several High Kings of the Noldor without offending anyone. Refusing the crown is the smartest thing I did at the end of the Second Age - I am so well out of all that.
