Bedo Mnemosyne 2

From Ars Magica

Salve Sodale,

As I said in my last letter, I was sure your answers would be true, and I am glad to see that they were.

As to your letters finding me, I was briefly apprenticed in the Stonehenge Tribunal, in the island, if not the land, of my birth, but was taken some years ago to Durenmar where I have since studied. Yours is not the first letter that has followed me on that journey. It is in part for that reason, I am tempted to join you upon your journey, one that takes me back close to the place of my birth.

In all matters bar one, your suggestions for a locale are admirable to my mind. The one? Whilst I agree the land is free of crusading armies, that border between Wales and England has hardly been a peaceful one in my time. My own preference would be to sit to the West of it, but the East may well be as safe. Astride it, I doubt the safety of the place.

Despite that, I am well minded to attend. I shall ask permission and aid from my current covenant, and tell them that I think I may have found the home they know that I search. The date you give leaves precious little time to prepare, but I shall see what means I can gather. The 20th of April, I believe that to be the Monday three weeks after Easter, lying between the days of the sainted Archbishops, Alphegus, that 'great and glorious martyr' and the Anselmus who spoke those words of him. I shall look to the stars to see what that day is to bring.

I shall also write to an old friend of mine who knows that part of the land better than I do, and shall travel down to Shrewsbury and thence to Stretton with him. Unless you ask otherwise, I shall also ask him to make enquiries of the area, in the hope that there may be a place found that we might live, and build.

I shall bring the rest of my questions with me, and should they all be answered as well, I hope that is where I can find my home.
