And if I don't save her, I'll fill the _Emily_ and the _Flibberty-Gibbet_ with recruits.

Recruits are needed right now on Berande more than anything else.
And please, please don't be angry with me.

You said I shouldn't go recruiting on the _Flibberty_, and I won't.

I'll go on the _Emily_.
I bought two cows this afternoon.

That trader at Nogi died of fever, and I bought them from his partner, Sam Willis his name is, who agrees to deliver them--most likely by the _Minerva_ next time she is down that way.
