Field Scribe - Letter of Mark

Sir Argo of Lochac Letter of Mark Pennsic XXXIII (2004)
This was a field scribe scroll. The scroll blank was done by Gauselin the Lost and says #6 ’97 on the back. The original scroll wording was done by Baroness Selena D’Ambra (though some minor changes were made for space). The King asked that we use the words crickey, mate, and vegimite is right out.
I did the scroll by candlelight at Pennsic using a quill I learned to cut while there and oak gall ink. The scroll was done on bristol board and made fixing the errors noticed the next morning somewhat difficult.

Scroll just completed at night - have not erased the pencil lines yet

Scroll in the morning - pencil marks erased
