Testament
Dear Giles,
I am sorry for troubling you, but as the head of the new Watcher's Council and my former mentor, I feel it is only right that you should be the recipient of this.
If the US postal service does what it has promised, you should receive this letter together with a rather large package containing my watcher's diaries as well as some other texts I have written over the years. I expect the earliest entries are good for no more than a laugh, but some of my later findings may be of use for future daemonology researchers. Of course, not having had access to the Council's library for some time, it is possible that I have merely been re-inventing fire, as they say. Nevertheless, feel free to do with these writings as you will. I have been holding on to them for some time, but it seems I may be about to leave on a journey where I shall have trouble bringing them with me.
One volume you may find of particular interest is the newest one. It is not really finished (it certainly needs editing) but I believe it contains some previously unknown information about the oldest daemon races which may still prove useful. (Consider the irony: it would seem I am a watcher of sorts again. At least I have a new charge to teach the ways of the world, although I am not exactly sure who is teaching whom.) In any event, it is in the binder marked “Fred”.
I am also including a book from my private collection. It is not a first edition or a priceless rarity or anything, simply a paperback I picked up at some point, but I have read it several times and it remains one of my favourites: “Norwegian Wood” by Haruki Murakami. In the words of Francis Bacon, "some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested." This is one of the latter, and if you have not read it, I heartily recommend it.
I hope everyone is well at your end. If you are in contact with Faith, I would appreciate it if you could pass on the attached envelope.
Give my regards to my father if you see him.
Sincerely,
Wesley Wyndam-Pryce
Note: This letter and all except one of the books included with it are archived in the new Watcher's Council library. The letter to Faith Lehane has not been found, and it is assumed that Mr Giles passed it on as requested.
- Dawn Summers, Librarian
