'I knew it, ${PLAYER}.

'If Postmaster Proudfoot had caught wind of this, he'd have already put a stop to it. After all the work he's put in to maintain the good reputation of the Quick Post, there's no chance he'd let some sort of conspiracy drag it into the mud. I have to inform the Postmaster at once!'

Postman Grubb takes out a blank piece of parchment and inks a quill. He begins writing, periodically glancing to his ledger.

'Now, ${PLAYER}, I hope you don't mind, but I need to ask you to deliver this to Postmaster Proudfoot in Michel Delving. In case something should happen to this letter, commit it to your memory that Nobottle has received thirty-three pieces of mail from the Hithershire in the past month. The Postmaster will have his own records on hand, and I would urge him to compare them against my own.'

Postman Grubb finishes writing, seals the letter, and hands it to you.

'I'm counting on you, ${PLAYER}. There is something afoot in the Shire!'
