Babysitting Eldarion
Dear Silwen,
I was going to write you a letter yesterday, thinking you were still out of the city. Then, however, I looked out the window of the house in which I am staying and saw a beautiful silver white horse walking towards the palace, with a tall blond haired elf upon his back. Then I saw a brown horse bearing two riders. I can only guess it was you and your father and Huinlas arriving in Minas Tirith. I was so excited to realize I had seen you, though it was only for a few seconds.
I have just received your letter. How kind of you to write. I was going to write this letter earlier, but Eldarion and his friend wanted me to join in their little game. So now I shall finish.
I am not in the palace right now, as I said. I am with Eldarion at his friend's house, who lives in the fourth level of the city. I don't know how long we will be here. I had planned to return home yesterday, but Eldarion wanted to spend the night. So here I am, not in the house that I should be in.
No Barahir was not with me; I don't know where he is at the moment.
You will most likely see my brother sooner than you will see me. His room is nearer the western side of the palace than mine. He also roams the palace many times each day. He likes to know who is here and who has been here just recently. He has also become a good friend with your younger siblings.
I don't know if I shall see you tomorrow either. Who knows how long Eldarion will want to stay here at his friend's house. He has not been able to see his friend for a long time. Hopefully we shall not be here longer than tomorrow afternoon. However, Eldarion still wants to show his little friend his horse.
I shall close. for I should like you to receive this before you fall asleep.
