Note 15

Qui-Gon,

Do not worry about me right now. I know that there are other matters that you must deal with.

Anakin has told me that the Jedi Council has refused to train him? Is this true? Or did he misinterpret the information?

I am glad that he seems to be doing well.

Anakin was tested by the Jedi Council then? Please, you must let me know how it went. You may know more details than Anakin did.

I wish I could have met your apprentice Obi-Wan. He sounds like a very fine young man.

You needed help, and I was in a position to offer it. I cannot stand to see people ignore others who are obviously in need.

Do not think about me at the moment. Consider Anakin's situation, please. If he is not allowed to be trained, then what will become of him?

Thank you for your continued reassurances regarding my son. Have you learned any more about your attacker? The one you think may have been a Sith?

If the Council has refused him, will you still be allowed to take my son as your apprentice?

Thank you for telling me more about this prophesy of the Chosen One, though not all of it makes sense to me. If it is in your opinion that Anakin is this Chosen One, then he may be.

Please tell me what is happening on Coruscant, as well as how my son is holding up.

My husband is quite upset that I let you take Anakin away to Coruscant. I will be speaking with him shortly. I will also reassure him with the words you have spoken to me.

Your friend,

Shmi
