Shmi,

I suppose there's no point asking you what this "topic" is that you took advice from a Jedi from. I've given up trying to convince you to be careful as far as Jedi and Anakin are concerned....Anakin seems to be a risky boy so I can understand the charms that he finds in that life, but please watch yourself. For my sake if not yours.
Now that my own son is joining their numbers, I see I have no choice but to accept the ways of the Jedi. It's a shame I never met this Qui Gon who has so influenced you and Anakin; for me he's a faceless character who has altered the future of our family. I hope Anakin will improve the bunch by introducing some morals and feeling to their lot.

Owen is eager to see you. He's not a young boy anymore—I will be sending him along as soon as he finishes his studies to visit you for a few days. I don't know what will come of this broken correspondence our family has. If someday we are all together again... Now that Rhun is better, I can hope to save enough money to buy a new life for you, Shmi, but don't set your heart on it. I can't stand to think of you waiting for me each day. It will be a slow process either way, but you can rest assured that every effort is being made. When I've saved some money, I will be in contact with Watto to bargain.

I know that Anakin no longer can keep contact with you, but I hope you don't think that he was the only reason I've written to you all these years. I hope that you will write to me, not just at the annual mark, but if you are feeling upset or in need of a companion. I may be worthless, even a fool, but I am still, and will always be your devoted husband—
