Thank you. Yes, Edmund was writing to Morgan. And you did read Lucy's concern correctly. It is the first we've heard from Mr. Pevensie and yes, it's an issue for Peter. His devotion and duty to the path laid out for him by his father and the Professor, which is pretty neatly summarized in the letter, is part of the issue for Peter. And while the reader sees it, Peter does not. Going back to some of the things that Richard observes about Peter makes these exchanges regarding John Pevensie that much clearer (I hope). Richard understood the idea of Peter as the eldest son, surrounded by brilliant people, and laboring under impossibly high expectations that everyone thinks he should meet if he just tries hard enough.

Thank you again
