Mom,
You've certainly heard correctly. There is much unrest in the Senate and it's really anyone's guess at how this is all going to play out. There's been talk of building an army, of involving the Jedi, and countless other tactics but it's still unclear as to which option the Senate is going to take. I'm obviously going to support any option that doesn't involve war and more death but I fear that is simply wishful thinking on my part.
Please don't worry. I'm safe and have my decoys with me at all times. There haven't been any more attacks on me since my visit to the Palace and I don't anticipate any more. But I promise, if my life does become endangered, I will come back to Naboo.
Now, please tell me that you and dad are safe. I'm sure you are but some of the other Senators' families have been targeted and I just want to make sure that you and dad have enough protection around you. I've asked Queen Jamilla to send a few guards to the house so don't send them away. They're there to protect you. Besides, after a while, you won't even know they're there.
I wish I could tell you why the Chancellor was unable to stop this. I suppose he's only just one man and his influence can only stretch so far but still...it does seem like there should have been more he could've done.
Please get back to me as soon as possible so I know you and dad are safe.
Your daughter,
Padme
