My Dear Willow [flourished bow],
I most willing will make available to you a copy of the movies you request, and considering how the Town Cryer has welcomed me with open arms and already bestowed welcoming gifts upon, I will answer your request by giving gifts in return.
I do look forward to a future engagement at Camerons Cabin, but I am sailing for the Mother Land, that fair and beautiful Isle of Angletaire (to spend time with the souls of my former choir boy brethren at the court at Westminster), and will be gone for a sennight. Upon my return, I will contact you to make arrangements.
As for getting my hands on He-Who-Is-Silent, if I did, my friend, I wouldn't let go for anybody! Sorry....
Adieu,
English Trader
