Dear Redwallers,

''I never thought that I would spend my day lying about the dormitories, thinking of ways to say this. Though I have never planned this until now, it all became quite easy to jot down onto this parchment, that you were so lucky to find on this summer day.''

''I was born in the infirmary to my caring mother and father, who raised me to be the mousemaid of Redwall Abbey, who helped to care for our Abbot. And who also aided Mother Turin in any manner. Becoming the official Bellringer became an important role in my daily habits, but to be honest-- I would never care to live like that again.''

''Listening to the stories of our past Redwall Warriors just prove that vermin arrive from all corners of Mossflower. And, you may say that I am too young to be saying things such as this; but, I pay attention to warriors such as Dandin, or even Martin. He soon realized his own destiny, and so have I.''

''Vermin haven't shown their pierced and scarred faces for so many years, but even the oldest of Abbot's can realize that something is going to happen. May we hold back until it happens, or take down the smallest of forces before they can reach us at our Abbey's walls. Mossflower may be drooling with vermin, but would we know it by spending our time with Namesday and endless celebrations?''

In this letter, I leave no apologies, for I have stolen Mr. Roglerm's finest kitchen knives; a few bars of Mother Turin's mint-root soap; and perhaps three loaves of bread from the kitchens.

Don't worry though, the bread was turning stale; it would have broken the dibbun's teeth out.

''Out of everybeast there, I suggest that Rogus take my place as Bellringer. He's taller than me anyways.''

Dearest hope for the future. ~Tolly Undermeen
