Duncan Melville Posted February 10 Share Posted February 10 (edited) A note written on white rag paper, with blue-black oak gall ink, sealed with the Melville coat of arms on viridian wax, and delivered by hand to the Chichester suite. Quote Dear Lord & Lady Chichester, Please forgive me for not attending your wedding. I fully intended to, but my emotions over the recent death of my wife got the best of me at the last minute, and I did not want to mar your joyous occasion with my brooding presence. Your humble and obedient servant, Melville The note was delivered along with a tea chest made of teak and sandal woods with ebony and ivory marqueterie inlays, oiled to a lustrous sheen and containing a very fragrant tea mix from Lady Alyth's tea shop.
