Salvete Familia,

 

Felicitations to you all and my pardons for being tardy in writing but my Grand Tour has become quite hellish to say the least.

Mother and Father took me to the ancient libraries that I had been so desperately begging them to allow me to see and one would stress quite strongly that you really should obey the Librarians when they tell you not to speak within their hallowed halls.

We may have had a slightly unfortunate incident when I was translating from an ancient tome that is transcribed in most wondrous Latin. One may have mispronounced a few words but trust me, not all accidents are as terrible as they seem and I appear to have acquired a new delicious taste for Latin. I really do not know why they say this is a dead language though as I found it quite lively and transforming.

Aside from that, my parents are a portrait of fine health, even my dearest little brother, bless him. He has not once bothered me since that incident. One could say he has become rather much like a retiring wall flower of late and I can continue my studies of all these fine books in peace.

Please expect several trunks of books to be delivered to the family library as my purchases are outstripping our ability to travel lightly. Also there will be a crate with three portraits packed inside, please set them up in the attic. I will have them hung in the gallery when I return.

 

Vale cupidum!
