Note 29:
Cliegg,

Anakin just wrote to me and told me that some people are coming over to our house. I thought that was odd. He thinks one of them might be a Jedi Knight…I'm sure that could be one of Anakin's fantasies. He's always talking about Jedi Knights and how he believes that one will free all the slaves one day. Poor child, he does not understand yet that he will never be free…he does not understand that once one is born into slavery that that person will be a slave for life.

I do not know what I will do…I don't know these people Anakin's talking about. They may be unsafe. I hope Anakin used good judgment when he invited them over.

Anakin should be fully recovered in a week or so, I hope. I will keep you updated on his health.

Anakin is my son, and whether he is Force Sensitive or not…I'm still going to worry about him just the same.

So Rhun and Owen like ships a lot? That is good. You must tell me how things are going with them.

Shmi
