The parchment is written in haste containing the Symbol of the Deveraux Royal Household and is address to Lady Annemarie the Royal apothecary and marked with urgency. A second document is attached with a recipe for a herbal mixture and remedy. Unlike the typical letters that Gwynevere sends there are no elaborate decorations on the envelope or the paper itself clearly showing it was written in haste and sent out as soon as it was completed.
My Dear Friend and Mentor,
I hope the Capital finds you well my lady, and you are enjoying the events of the Harvest Festival. How goes the planning for the wedding?
Things here have taken a turn in some of the worst of ways I fear, it is part of why I write to you so earnestly. The Snow Sickness that I believe is more common to Vasile has found it’s way into Vanderhall. Today I found that both Prince Oliver has been ill for over the past week with what was thought to be a cold. Princess Olympe informed me of this and has also begun to come down with the symptoms of the illness as well as the Knight Sir Salvatore Deliambre. I have already removed the three of them from the usual quarters of the castle to a separate room in a wing of the castle relatively unused. The symptoms are fever, chills, dizziness, sleepiness, aches, but I have only begun observing my patients as of today. I have set up a watch to keep their fevers down with cool compresses, tea, and a herbal mixture I crafted (I have the recipe attached).
In your time in Vasile have you treated or heard of this illness? Do you have any further suggestions of treatments?
I apologize for the abruptness of my letter, from what I have seen in the villages the sickness making its way into the castle troubles me greatly. I do truly hope you and Alexandre are doing well in the past few months…
If I could ask a favor of you, my friend can you please inform Lady Carlotta of her brother’s state. I fear he may not have the energy to write to her and his sister as often as he has in the past. He wished me to write to Carlotta to inform her of his condition, but I feel as though it would be better received by someone she can confide in than in the coldness of the written word. He wished to write to her tonight, but I insisted he rest for the evening as he already collapsed from exhaustion after working himself too hard.
I owe you a great debt Annemarie.
Forever your friend and student,
Gwynevere Deschenes
