Currently we are just hours away from making Mermaids Rest and shall continue our inquires on your behalf there. I do not have much hope of developing much, as my former associates have been there some days already and have proably alerted our oppostion and they will have most likely gone to ground after possible striking at them. However it is with high hopes that arrive there as I am fairly confident that we shall at the very least develope some leads to follow. To date we have been very successful so far in establishing our cover as a small independent crew who has recetly gotten extremely lucky. Supporting this ruse is a substainal cargo of tobacco products with a trade value of 24,500 in  the form of cigars and 4,500 in loose tobacco  added to this is a raw cargo of dyes that should net another 15,000 or so. Then there are the odds and ends such as premimue food stuffs and (Insert description of the fish  and other caputred goodies)  which add another 15,000 or so to our value. Even if we have to discount some our our prices as much as 20 percent, as long as we trade for the full cargo value less discount, especially in regards to other raw materials, we should do very well. Any hints of cargo that may be of use to Icewatch at this time of the year would be appreciated. As for the crew I acquired in Terger, they have proven to be most excellent. Not two days past we staged a hit an run raid on the Shark Men lair mentioned in my previous letter and made off with a substainal prize but alas with the loss of a valiant crewman. (Insert Details of the raid here). The crew acted in a superiour fashion given the newness of it's inception and the lack of proper weapons with which to defend the ship. I have high hopes that in time this crew shall become a fordimable force. Turning to a delicate subject, I must once again impose upon your good offices with a request. It has been brought to my attention, that the voyage we are undertaken may prove somewhat difficult for my small ship given the number of crew and it's racial composition. While I have no doubt that we can accomplish our mission regardless, we are qucikly running into a problem with storage space for our food stuffs and fresh water. The replenishing water barrells we can manufacture ourself and will go far in reducing the amount of space we need but we still need space for our food stuffs and our cargo so my request is this. I have heard that it is magical possible to convert a cargo hold into an area that can hold much more. I have been lead to belive that the ratio is in the percentage of 1 to 5 thus a 20 ton cargo space could in effect hold 100 tons of cargo. As to the cost I have been told that it runs roughly 35,000 gold pieces to effect this transformation (This is the book price from one of the old Encolpidies of Magic). What I need from you  is help in recruting the individuals who can preform this act as well as a guarantee for payment. Currently, I have on hand some 10,000 gp in hard currency with which to pay for this and will perhaps have even more by the time I reach Bronhelm, which is where i hope to have this done. With this augementaion in place, more space will be freed up for additional crew and marines as well as the necessary equipment for such a long voyage to Icewatch. Yours Respectfully, M.
