Note 12
To my loving husband Bail,
Your cousin stopped by this morning and informed me that he heard that a Jedi Master had been killed…a member of the Jedi Council…a Sifo-Dyas. It saddens me to hear about the death of a Jedi. They do so much good for this galaxy. He was on Dantooine, and someone discovered his body. Your cousin was spending some time on Dantooine, and happened to pass by the scene. My understanding is that this is supposed to be restricted information until the Jedi Council authorizes an announcement.
Hopefully we will be able to be in one another's arms soon. How is everything in the Senate? Has it calmed down yet? Has the Supreme Chancellor election been held yet…
You said that the Queen of Naboo is leaving again? She is going to Naboo then…..but that must be so dangerous for her! It's a relief that the Jedi are going with her. What could she wish to accomplish by returning to Naboo. I suppose she may be able to accomplish more by returning than by staying in the Senate…with your election going on.
I am glad to hear that she spoke well. It sounds as if, sadly, she had little other choice than to call for the vote….but still, you would think the Senate would have acted. How can so many elected officials sit together and not say anything? Why would they remain silent? It is obvious that something else was going on, and for some reason it was in their better interest to remain quiet. How could people be controlled like that? Dear….you should never ashamed to be a Senator. You are my husband and a Senator to the Republic. However, you cannot let these people get you down. If the others back off and do not stand up, then you must. Instead of stepping back and giving up, you must step forward and boldly do something. After the election there will be a chance to do that!
Please let me know when you are coming home. That way I can make the proper arrangements….
I'm so proud of you for being nominated! Think of all the wonderful things you could do for the Republic….you would be in the position to initiate changes within the Senate…changes in attitude and how things are run. Yes, I believe you are perfect for the position.
Naboo is known for its politicians.
I wonder what her Senator Palpatine has to say…he must be as worried as we are…even more worried. It is his Queen. He might not have been able to advise her about her decision to return to Naboo, as he has been preparing for the coming election, I am sure.
I hope the Queen is safe.
Yes…let's vacation on Naboo sometime…but we need to wait until everything has calmed down there. I don't think it would do us good to travel there any time soon. We may become more agitated and reminded of the recent happenings in the Senate.
Please tell me what Finis says when you talk to him. We should offer to do something for him….he must be very busy moving…if he is leaving Coruscant, cleaning out his office, and he may need some emotional and financial support for a while. I must write to his wife and see if they need anything.
Even if you are elected and not in office for long, at least that will show others that changes need to be made. Stay strong, my husband. With you on this project, you can really help the Senate. Even if you are not elected, do not discard your plan. You can work with the new Supreme Chancellor and try to win his support with your plan.
And you, my Bail, are my handsome knight and king. You are these things…and but most importantly, you are my husband. You are also a strong leader and good Senator that I know wants to help the Republic. You have no idea how much I have missed you….but hopefully everything will be straightened for you and you can return.
Thank you for telling me about your secretary's reactions….I had forgotten about your secretary. So much work has been done for this….I will have to send her a special treat for helping you out. A nice thank you batch for your secretary, and have mailed it with the blanket. I finally finished it. Inside you will find a surprise.
I am relieved that Palpatine sounds true to his word. You must work with him, no matter who wins the election. If you only banded together, so much could be accomplished, I am sure. Yes, dear…you need a vacation. We both do…together….
Yes…Correon's wife and I have a surprise in the works…that's part of the reason you must tell me when you plan on leaving Coruscant. We need to know how much time we have….no, dear…nothing at all to worry about…..
Yes….when you are away, all I can do is imagine what it would be like to held by you, and walk with you…with your hand on my back and pulling me into an embrace. Until you have returned, I will just have to imagine being with you….which doesn't compare to the time we are actually together.
Thank you….I long to be with you again.
Your wife,
Sara
