====== Aelflaed's Letter ======

To Gerard de Nimes,



I hope this letter finds you well. It has been a while
since we spoke last, and I hope you have learned much in
your studies since then. Books are such a precious source
of knowledge, but each is but finite in what it can impart,
and there comes a time when one must move on to further
works.



I have recently come into possession of some further texts
which may interest you, on a variety of subjects. Many of
them are in Greek, but I am sure we can come to some
arrangement in order to translate them into a more suitable
script.



Myself, I am always after new acquisitions for my
collection, and would much appreciate a trade of books. As
you are no doubt aware, my tastes range into most subjects.
Especially of interest to me are any works you may know of
concerning the traditions of the English cunning folk. I
most recently came across a very interesting young lady who
seemed to have a knowledge of the world that is beyond my
own understanding. She is not the first I have come across
who has shown an ability which can only be described as
'magical', and defies description according to the writings
of such men as Aristotle.



Anyway, should you be in London at anytime, feel free to
leave word with Walter at his bookshop on London Bridge. He
will get word to me and we can arrange dinner some time,
and maybe come to some agreement concerning the exchange of
books.



Aelflaed.
