Lord Archibald,
Firstly, allow me to convey what a pleasure it is to attempt correspondence with you. While the glory of Sanctuary waxes and wanes, your house shines forward as a beacon of honor and decency. I pen this letter to you with a humble request. Of late, I have begun immersing myself within the various annals of history that have been penned over the years in our fair city, many of them penned by your illustrious uncle Mendrick. It has come, however, to my attention that there is a gaping hole in the records of the City- a comprehensive chronicle of the Archibald family has not yet been recorded, and with the sad demise of your uncle, I would ask your kind permission to begin work on such a volume. I would request having partial access to your family archives for the duration of such a work, as primary sources are painfully scarce. Many thanks for giving this letter your time, Lord.
Your humble servant.
Sir Percy Pubien D'or
