The letter is penned as if by a shaking hand, seeming to steady for short intervals, before deviating into an abrupt streak or blotch of ink
Lady Meriadoc,
Apologies for my absence from the duties I had promised to undertake about the Hold. I must be brief in my writing, I have been stricken with a practitioner's worst nightmare. An illness which saps my ability to use the Art. I do not know if I will ever fully recover, and if so how long it might take and so you cannot rely on my aid. I pray that the wards already put in place are sufficient. If you have questions as to their nature please send word for me at the Menacing Mariner.
Seldarine watch over you.
Lanathas Ell'thariel
