A personal correspondence
Those wandering by the workbench in the back of the old church might have seen a clean bit of parchment laid there this morning—a correspondence between the gentlemen of Oakwood Laboratories:
Mr. Elihu Leominster
Wheatstone Waterways
New Babbage
My dear Father,
Inexhaustable Supplies of Phlogiston Soon Available
Ladies and Gentlemen of the City and its surrounds:
I am pleased to announce my father and I have begun the final stages of our experiments to tap into an aether gate with the goal of capturing the phlogiston we are certain will be released. Our early tests were significant, and demonstate clear success in the capture and containment of this elemental energy.
Our return to the present...
My father, Mr. Leominster, insists the device is still functioning properly. I believe I am being reasonable with my decision not to employ it again any time soon.
