*Finally after another wine filled night Henk finishes the formal letter that had been lying on the table for some time now*
March 19th, 1720
Dear friends,
Some time ago it came to my attention that a former friend had the desire to sink me! This came as an unpleasant surprise to me for i still look favorable upon those i said goodbye to so long ago. Still after giving this much thought i decided to accept this silly challenge at my humble person and i shall participate in said duel!
Details are still unknown for my current predicament prevents me to partake in anything at present as many already know!
Marinus Marchand has enlisted the aid 'o one i hold in the highest esteem seighneur Emilé du Montfort so i am confident that said duel will take place after carefull consideration and after agreement of both parties involved! I have thought hard and long as to who should or would accompany me as my lieutenant and have come to a conclusion as 'o yesterday, call it a moment of clarity if ye will!
Let it be known that i considered many of my own flock and all make more than ideal candidates i trust my very life to should that time come! But it is not now for i have asked another dear friend to be my aide and to ensure that said duel will take place under carefully agreed terms in which honor will be upheld!
I have formaly requested Solyne Diana to be my lieutenant as well as aide on that faithfull day to ensure my well being as well as set the terms together with monsieur du Montfort!
It is with both joy as well as honor to inform ye all that she respectfully agreed to be present and act as my confidance...
Signed,
Henk
