[SCA-AE] last plea

[Lady Deianeira]

My dearest Lady Erzebet,

    Were the Blackstone event not so far from whence I hail, I would gladly 
offer to assist (when of course, I was not fighting pon' the field of honor, 
myself).

    I believe in our Kingdom, and our brethren within its Sylvan borders - 
and I am sure the lack of response is only because many (such as myself) 
have found committing to distant events is questionable at best - due the 
current economic situation (i.e. rising costs of transportation).

    I pray thee do not panic yet - as an Autocrat myself, I know well the 
pains of trying to pull an event together, but I have found in my 
experiences - especially here within our Sylvan Borders, that the Good 
Gentles of AEthelmaerc will always rise to the challenge and be forthcoming 
lending a hand where needed.

    My sincerest apologies to you, My Lady - as I cannot offer my personal 
committment, however again I say, fear not! for I am sure you will find 
yourself with more assistance than you now anticipate.

    Yours, In service I remain....

    Lady Deianeira Rodriguez y Aragones
    Barony of Endless Hills
