Dear Nuquernaeregiel
I pray that this letter reaches you before they do. They are coming, Nuquernaeregiel. You know of whom I speak . But do not despair; there are friends coming for you. Galenrambaion and Brildurion have both insisted, and Dunlothion and Galennolewen are attending on business with the others. Don''t let them take you, my daughter. Let Brildurion and Galenrambaion help you, trust them. They know no evil. Dunlothion and Galennolewen you know, but they may not prove to be helpful. Reply with advice or news whenever possible.
Your loving father,
Telpegonion

Dear father Telpegonion,
I hope that my letter finds you in excellent health and state of mind. By now almost everyone has heard of the coming of the Fellowship of the Ring, but this matter is only spoken of in the softest of whispers. I am writing to ask you of merely one thing- has the Fellowship visited Mirkwood? Prince Legolas promised to try. He is now part of the Fellowship, and as they are rumoured to be near the southern border of Mirkwood, I thought I would inquire. Please reply as soon as seems fit; the Fellowship will be a while before reaching Minas Tirith. Bid my greetings to King Thranduil, Niirnaiel, Galennolewen, Dunlothion, Gelenrambaion, Brildunion and mother Nuquernaerwen.
Elen Sila Lumen Omentielvo,
Nuquernaeregiel

Dear Nuquernaeregiel,
I write you with happy news- I am coming to Minas Tirith! My father announced it at breakfast this morning, and the preparations were made this evening- I will have left by the time this letter reaches you. I would travel alone, but for my brother Mirion- he insists on accompanying me. But, I fear I digress.
I expect you have heard about tell about the Fellowship of Isildur''s Bane. My cousin Legolas has left Mirkwood to join it. I last heard they were visiting with the Lady Galadriel, but it is hard to say.
And again I am writing for no reason. I must leave now- I have heard there will be orcs on the road and I must be prepared. I shall write again, and if not, we will meet again soon in Minas Tirith.
Your friend,
Niirnaiel of Mirkwood.

Dear Nuquernaeregiel,
I am truly pleased that you have considered writing, although that was most certainly your intention. To my knowledge the Fellowship has indeed not visited Mirkwood. King Thranduil could never keep such an event so quiet, so I could cautiously tell you that no, the Fellowship is and has not been here.
The King had some problems this morning with the woodmen who inhabit the South-Western border of Mirkwood. May I pray that everything is well and pleasurable for you there in Minas Tirith.
Your beloved Father,
Telpegonion
