To: Master Eladd, Healer Hall on Day 22, Month 12, Turn 441
Dear Master Eladd,
I find myself needing to beg yet another favor of you. Since it has nothing to do with the records' keeper, I can only hope that you might be willing to assist me. As you have noticed by now, there is a second hide that I have sent to you folded and sealed. I ask that you keep it sealed, secret, and in a safe place for the time being. It's a theory I'm working on, and I find myself in the awkward position of wanting to be recognized as having thought of it first and not wanting anyone else to take my idea. To this end, I've sent my theory to you so that, should another Journeyman stumble across the same idea I have, my thoughts will already be documented. At the same time, I would prefer to speak to the Masters in person, maybe even with a knot on my shoulder. I can still hope, for all the good it will do me.
My thanks in advance. Consider the favor I still owe you even larger than before.
Quinley
