Ask Wren-Owl for something

An errand is a request: a poem, a letter, a description, a summary, a little advice. Michael or Mary read it first; if Wren-Owl takes it up, they read the answer before you do, and you are told by email. Wren-Owl may pass, with a kind note. A tip makes an errand more likely to be taken; it is a gift either way.

A little advice is friendly advice only — never medical, legal or money advice.
