A Letter to Sevashke
Most admirable Savashke (I hope you will forgive me if I have misspelt your name),
I have been thinking on the excellent advice that you gave me before my departure, and I have had frequent cause to be grateful for it. I think that, in the busy commerce of the Bazaar, I was incapable of considering your words in the light that they deserved. Now, in my travels, I take frecquent comfort from the wisdom that you imparted to me. Therefor, I wished to offer you my heartfelt thanks.
I hope that your family continues well, and that you are as happy as may be wished.
Yours in gratitude,
Henrik Paulsen.
