The Letter - Silentium

Dear Prudence!

My words can’t describe how heavy my burden has been during these few months.

The rough

Sea has delayed our journey back for several days the storm is settling now.

And the crew is

Hastingly buying and loading cargo.

Unfortunately it requires my presence.

so I’ll I send this

Letter with the captain of the «Capricorn».

The last will of my brother,

William, has been a saddening

Task.

To try and sell his estate and belongings.

his life’s toil has grieved me

as the

Memories of him come vividly haunting me I miss home.

The ways of the new world

are not for me, and

Most of all I miss you, I could not believe such hick as I had when i first met

you.

My endless

Dream is that you could be mine to love, I can only wish, though I think

hopelessly, that I could

Make you even partly as happy as I am with you — if only your father would find

it in his heart to

Understand our hearts desires over the fact that I am not of noble heir.

I wish this voyage of

Grief would be over, I wish I was with you even I’m not at home in the joyous

eves, dances and

Masquerades of the court.

Hopefully you haven’t locked your smile behind the

door of your room

Even when I’m gone.

I do hope I am worthy enough to make you smile whence I

return, my flame still

Burns for you

Yours beloving: Antracon
