My dear Philippa,
I embrace this opportunity to tell you about my travel so far as well as to inform you on certain
matters. I have spent 43 long days on this boat thus far,I modestly hope we arrive to Baheeta before
the 50 day mark. By the time my word reaches you,I will already watch as the Sun sets on the other
side of the world. I do have to say you made a fine point about my horehound,it certainly didn't benefit
the maritime atmosphere. On the contrary,the marjoram plant my papa gifted me grew delightfully. I
was able to put it in good use and help an officer with his insomnia,he has been keeping me good
company in exchange. As for the matters I mentioned earlier,I trust you will take good care of my
library. Do not give my books for long periods of time,you know I treasure them with all my heart.
Also,I would be pleased if you could pay my father a visit every God's day,or at least until my beloved
brother Jacob returns home. Papa has been very silent since mother's passing,an occasional visit does
good to his soul. Please present my best wishes and compliments to your family,I look forward to
hearing from you.
