(Month day): for administrative reasons, this LoI has not yet been scheduled. [P Month day]: postmarked on that bracketed date, so the LoI is redated or postponed. "-": no LoI is scheduled for that meeting from that kingdom. ?: tentative. Four of the March Letters of Intent were delegated to the new Laurel team: Caid, November 21; Ealdormere, November 23; Meridies, November 30; West, November 25. The March Wreath and Pelican meetings were both on March 13. The March Pelican-designate and Wreath-designate meetings were held jointly at Elsbeth Clarion's house in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on March 27. The April Wreath meeting was held on May 1. That is, Wreath's decisions to be published in the April 2004 LoAR were made at a meeting on May 1. The May Wreath meeting was held on Sunday, May 16. The May Pelican meeting was held on May 15. They will have a joint road-show meeting on May 22 at {AE}thelmearc War Practice. The June Wreath meeting will be on June 12 and the June Pelican meeting will be on June 13. They will hold the traditional Known World Heraldic Symposium road-show meeting on June 27. The August Pelican and Wreath meetings will be held as road shows during evenings at Pennsic. Wreath will rule on any remaining LoIs on August 28. Wreath and Pelican hope to hold a joint meeting in northern Virginia during September. Not all letters of intent may be considered when they are originally scheduled on this cover letter. The date of mailing of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, et cetera) have not yet been met. REMINDER: Until all administrative requirements are met, the letter may not be scheduled. **** Roster Changes **** An updated roster is enclosed.

Congratulations! (A minor digression: according to Miss Manners, the traditional usage of "Mrs." is followed only by the husband's name, not by her name. Lady Aryanhwy writes, "I frankly love the thought that I'm going to be 'Mrs. ...'". Miss Manners also approves of "Ms." as being less specific and more flexible; "Ms." precedes the lady's names. She also notes that "The correct form of address by the Holy Roman Emperor when speaking of himself to others, or when addressing himself, for that matter, is 'Ma Majest{e'}'", but provides no citation or date. Please take these divers observations and use them or not as you see fit.) **** Send What to Whom **** For all Letters of Intent, Comment, Response, Correction, et cetera, send one paper copy to each of Wreath KoA and Pelican QoA at their mailing addresses as shown on the College of Arms Mailing List.
