On ys day, I received a missive yt spoke of ye passing of a great man of ye New Kingdom to ye East, one Duke Morghun Sheridan, of a fall from ye heights of his hall, hauing been overseeing som repairs. And I know him not, but I sorrow for those who are bereaved at ys news, knowing full well yt it is of no little consequence to lose so grete a lord.
