I'll be Taking My Leave Then...

I am quite sorry friends. But as of now, i'll be taking my leave. I've been called back to Bantry on important issues and plan to sail on the dawn. I regret leaving so many friends, but my homeland calls...a call I can not fight. So now I leave you with my fondest regrets. I don't believe that when I return...if I return i'll yet be in the Confederacy. A society of traders has requested my presence...a royal trading squadron, but pray, keep me an ally. I hope to see you all sometime in the future.

Sincerely,
Malcolm Thatcher
