Dearest Elsabeth,
The things one must do for honour. The sacrifices one must make for thy family. It is my duty. I need not be asked, I know what I must do.
The ring is a symbol of our provenance, an emblem recognised throughout history. It should not be in the hands of a treacherous thief. It must be returned to its rightful place and upon the hand of the head of the family.
I have my hints to the location. I sought out the builder and cajoled the information out of him. He was sworn to secrecy, but even the strongest of hearts have their weaknesses. An evening of plying him with Perry was enough to lower his defences. He told me there was a secret room under the Manor house.
He would not reveal any more, despite my best efforts, so I ended his pitiful existence. To outsiders it would look like an unfortunate accident, the result of consuming one to many goblets of Perry.
I write this letter to you, so that if I do not succeed then others can try in my stead and return what is rightfully ours.
If I do not return, know that I will not have died in vain.
Elsabeth, you are my love and will be always and forever.
Edward Nicholas Cuthbert Templeton
