"Dearest Sister, I have in my possession that which is dearest to you. He is unmolested and unmarred-for now and in a location that will not be easy to scry. Only fair as you shield yourself from same, yes? you are to submit yourself to me or my agents in trade for him. I have spies elsewhere though, and I will know if you inform a certain farm's occupants of his state. If that is the case I will simply stop your heart (He has it , does he not?) from beating. Indeed, I expect you to make excuses and lie to protect his absence. You will find a map in an oak in the garden, one with three notches. In a knot there you will find it. It will tell you were to drop yourself off for the trade. Think it over... but if you take more than a day or two I may get bored-how many fingers do artists need again? I forget. Your LOVING sister- G"
