Correspondence

In which a series of letters between two great opponents proves that history is never simple and that great respect can exist between enemies. The formatting issue has been fixed, and this is actually readable now.

22. Administration

Chapter 21: Administration

Mentor Kenway,

If every friend of mine was a Templar, I would hardly have to rebuild my Rite. Do you intend to accuse everyone from the Vice President to the Chief Justice? Or do your indictments only extend as far as the Cabinet? Perhaps it is my friends alone who must be wary?

Let me be clear: Not every Templar is my friend, nor are all my friends Templars. As it stands, I have no intention of revealing the identities of any member of my Order. Further inquiries of this nature will be summarily disregarded.

Yours,

Shay Patrick Cormac

Grandmaster of the American Rite

Bill,

Wow. Someone's pissed. Probably a good thing this is parchment, or he would have torn through the page. (Why does Cormac always use parchment? It's not like paper didn't exist at that time.)

There's nothing to really say when this was written, but if it was during Washington's administration, the VP actually was a Templar ― which we know from these letters. Weird thought: if the VP mentioned here is Adams, does that make Jay a Templar? Was Cormac actually hinting at the identities of two Templars, just to mess with Connor?

Shaun,

Was John Jay a Templar? Can you look into this?
