Many arrivals at Arreyton Manore

From our correspondente in ye village

One can marvel at the fact that so many are about on the Sabbath. Perhaps it is the quality of the sermons from our newly established preacher, Master Colnet.

Perhaps it is the relief the Lord has blessed us with another fine growing day for oure croppes.

Whatever mayhap the reason, it is many a day since I saw so many faces about the Manore. Some, it is true, are merely the cominges and goinges of Sargeant Monroe’s band of brothers. Some are the returning of servants who have scoured the lande for the basics of running such a manore.

God be blessed that those who have travelled far are indeede safe retyrned amongst us.

We pray that the Lord will see fit to bless us with another fine day. We hear storyes that more visitations will be upon the manore before the sun is high in the skye. May the Lord bless and keep all who are about the manore, come what may.
