Owen,
Several of the neighbors have agreed to help us—this way we might have a chance against the sandpeople. We have adequate tracking technology that we can find life forms in the area. We can put together a small militia; after all, we don't need to fight them, only to save your mother. As long as we're all able-bodied, nothing will stand in our way of this mission.
You can tell Beru about the situation—now that I know that you fully intend to marry her. It's only right that she should know since she will soon be a part of the family.
However, don't bring your younger brother into this. Anakin would no doubt be desperate if he knew; that's why it's better that he doesn't. As a Jedi he can't get involved in a situation where the emotions run so high; he might lose control. I understand your skepticism of Anakin's choice to become a Jedi. I felt that way myself for a long time but now I feel that it was the right choice for him. Your mother loves all three of you more than you know, Owen. Do not compromise your faith in her love for anything. We'll have her back shortly. I know that you must be afraid, but be brave for the family.
Your Father,
Cliegg
