The Earl of Glamford

Then, from within his tweed suit, the frightened Governor produced a letter, and with a shaking hand, gave it to his godson. Alexander took it as if the letter were his own child, and gingerly opened it. It read: "To The Bearer Of This Letter, My name is Richard H. Goodborn. I own and oversee my company, Goodborn Enterprises. Over the last month, I have received threats to my life. I sincerely believe someone is pursuing me. Be it for my money, my company, or for a personal matter I do not know. But whosoever obtains this letter, know this: I feel a heavy weight upon my heart of late. As if shackles are chained to my very soul. I cannot escape this terrible dread. It is not long now. Last week I received a letter with no address. The sender did not provide any information about himself. It was written in some sort of ghastly red ink. I fear that this letter may be my last, which is why I shall inform you of the secret within Uncle Roger. There you will find another letter. I may be able to avenge my death, with your help, from within my predestined grave. Sincerely, Richard Harold Goodborn 21 December, 1891 "
