I may be some days fighting this battle, so until that time I am unwilling to present my embattled self to any Gentles of the Shire, not wishing to expose any to the horrors of my misfortune. <br></span></div><div><span> Happily I have a deputy who will attend on my behalf and who will have my monthly report to present.</span></div><div><span>By Friday I am confident that I shall be victorious and will therefore be present. There are a couple of checks that need signing and I hope to have the Doomsday finished by then to sign and send off.
