Yes, My subjects, We were again stricken with the plague. The very gates of Our palace have been marked with a large cross, made with tar or pitch, to notify all who may wish to enter of the dangers herein.

Our chirurgeons have informed Us that it is again a mild case, as We have taken advantage of the available vaccinations and the enhancements thereunto and shall, as soon as possible, obtain the second enhancement, and We encourage you, Our subjects, to do the same. You may remember that We also had a case of this plague last October, and We are getting tired of it. But do consider that because We have taken it upon Ourself to have this case of the plague it may be that someone else, perhaps a child, will not be so infected.

As We were in the hamlet of Idaho Falls last weekend and have good reason to believe that We were infected there, We have placed the town of Idaho Falls under interdict for the furtherance of the health of Our subjects.
