Note 13:
Cliegg,

Well it's a year since the last note (obviously), and Anakin is now four.

Now to tell you about what happened….um….unfortunately, Anakin's not going to get better, but at least I know what it is now, and that he'll be all right. Anakin has asthma, but it's very slight. It only affects him when he exercises a lot. He's fine most of the time…and it only affects him every once in a while.

Thanks for the pictures of Owen and Rhun. I will continue to send you pictures of Anakin every year…and I expect that you will do the same with Owen and Rhun's pictures.

Well I would hope that you could see some of you in him…seeing how he has your eye and hair color. I have brown hair and brown eyes. I'm glad that you are pleased with his appearance.

Your father is not a Sith, Summoner. He just doesn't want to use the force, or even talk about Jedi…or Sith. I mean it was a Sith that killed his best friend…..that Frey Corta guy. He's just saddened by the memories. That's all. No one will harm Anakin. I mean, think about it, we're slaves. Who would harm him?

It sounds as if Rhun and Owen are a big handful for you. I am wondering something…..did your father stay on Tatooine, or did he move to another planet. I mean, considering how much the farm fell in value after the Maurders bought Tatooine.

Now to tell you what happened in this past year. Watto likes giving Anakin little errand jobs. He has to go to the cantina and bring back change for Watto…little jobs like that. Watto also likes to have Anakin sort things…..but the thing is, Anakin likes doing it. He's really fast about it. Watto recently gave Anakin a bunch of tools to sort through. Anakin was sure happy! But you know what he did? He not only sorted through them, but he also built things! Can you believe that? A 4 year old figured out how to build mechanical things.

He also can drive speeders really well…so well that Watto is convinced that Anakin would make a good podracer once he gets a little older.

Anakin has a very inquisitive mind, and he keeps asking me a bunch of questions about everything…..about life…..and about how things work.

Well I must go now. Watto has work for me to do.
