My Lord Wenfrith,
Lady Alexston (that is, Carrigan Alexston) recently took ill and will remain at Alexston for the duration of her sickness. Be assured it is nothing serious, and should pass in two or three days. She sends her apologies for her absence and would like to assure you that she will find you when she is feeling better. She dryly adds that she hopes you won't miss her too much.
Regards,
Vincent Palfrey
