My friends,
It has come to my attention that a handful of your dear followers have come to Forks. It saddens me that I was not made aware of this, or we would have welcomed them properly. Is there, perhaps, something we can assist them with so that they may return home as quickly as possible without incident? I feel I must also address something with you that has my family and I very concerned. An attack was made on my granddaughter -- you remember her, yes? An attempt was made to harm her by another vampire while her uncle and aunt were taking her to visit New York City for some holiday shopping and festivities. An attempt, which to my knowledge, was made out in public. I know how much you value the importance of our discretion, which is why you'll be pleased to know that my son took care of the problem privately with no witnesses.
I hope you'll inform you members of the Guard who are in town that we do not oppose of them being here, so long as they adhere to keeping things peaceful and do not hunt in our town. Reports of hikers being found dead are becoming a bit more prominent, and I have done enough autopsies in my time to know the difference between a bear and one of our brothers.
