Letter 6013: The frequency of my earlier letters has used up everything worth writing.
The frequency of my earlier letters has used up everything worth writing. All that's left now is the dutiful formality of a greeting. And really, if there were anything worth putting on paper, it would be better entrusted to a messenger in person. The pen should only come out when the person carrying the message can't handle verbal instructions. For now, if you think anything worth knowing has come up, you'll learn it more fully from the bearer than from any written excursion of mine. Farewell.
