I've just received word that an old notebook of mine was recovered. I had lost it many years ago and considered it lost, but many are the miracles in this work. The news was wholly unexpected, but not unwelcome. Apparently, the book was discovered by some traveller in Tsumarya. It is perhaps even more amazing that he was able to locate me. I understand it is with a merchant of salt and other spices and should be here soon.

I am excited because this notebook contained much of my research about stories from the Grim's Rest area, including drafts of the story of Tamerlane and Eblis. Also, if I remember, there is a version of "Surety," which is one of my favorites, though it is somewhat grim itself. This is fortuitous news.
