Note 33
Queen Amidala,
You are very welcome. Please…do tell me what has happened. What has been accomplished. Oh…so you and the Jedi believe that they are battling a Sith? I am afraid I am unfamiliar with that term. Please do tell me what you know about this "Sith." What have the Jedi said concerning this thing? Whatever they are…I hope that the Jedi are up to the task.
Yes, I know, Queen Amidala. I only wish you to be cautious, as I am concerned for you and our people. Have you gotten close to accomplishing your goal? Have you heard from the Jedi yet?
What do you mean by saying, "the gungans have come through for us because the droids' shields are down." What shields are you speaking of? Are you speaking of the Droid Control Ship?
Please do give me the details when you get the chance. I would very much like to hear your account. Please….I am very worried, and your last update was not nearly detailed enough. It relieved me some…but still….until I know the outcome, I will be unable to relax…or eat anything.
And what of our friend young Anakin? Is he all right…or do you know?
Supreme Chancellor Palpatine

PS I have heard some alarming reports from others, and it has been brought to my attention that Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn has been killed in battle. Is this true? He did much for our people, and wish to arrange a funeral in his honor, and I would like to have it on Naboo. Can you please bring it up with the other planetary officials? I am trying to work out the details now, but I will need your permission.
