Letter 6044: ...was unexpectedly held up.
...was unexpectedly held up. It's better not to describe her physical complaints, so as not to double your own anxiety. In any case, my brother Comazon left the city out of longing for you and will fill you in more fully on what I'm leaving unsaid. I shouldn't have to ask for what you'll do on your own -- but please ease the weight of our worries with more cheerful letters. Farewell.
