Note 3
Queen Amidala,
My letter worried you? Ah yes…well do remember that I sent that last letter before I knew about the Invasion….ahem…and I forgot where I heard the information about the Jedi as the ambassadors. I have been hearing rumors and information from so many sources that I forget the original source, and who might have been present when I hear such reports. Do forgive my forgetfulness.
I have heard reports from several officials on Naboo, and they told me that The Trade Federation seems to beginning an invasion? I didn't realize things were THAT bad. Do not worry, I've informed the Senate of our situation fully, and everyone seems to be a little distressed. The Senate is bogged down with so many procedures….I don't really know how soon the Senate will be able to act on the invasion.
The Supreme Chancellor did assure me that he would send a couple of ambassadors to negotiate on Naboo's behalf. They should be arriving at any moment…and I have reason to believe that they are Jedi Knights. However, since you already knew this information, and I had forgotten that you were present with me when I first heard that, it shall serve as a reminder to you. Hopefully the negotiations work out in our favor.
My health? Oh yes….I remember now. I had a really bad cold when I wrote you the last time. It's much better now, thank you.
Senator Palpatine
