The distance between us is great; A lot of time has passed since we parted with your honor; in addition, there are many, many persistent affairs, the terrible desert of our location, the unbearable state of siege, attacks, raids of robbers, various other constraints, poor health... But with all this, nothing weakened our love for you: we keep it in full strength and in full bloom, carrying you in our minds, wherever we are, having an unforgettable memory of you and forever imprinting in our hearts your nobility souls, independence, immutability, inflexibility of your sincere love and the ardor of your affection for us. So we live here, finding the greatest consolation among the hardships of our homeless desert in the memory of your exploits. Write to us constantly, my most venerable and magnificent lord, delighting us with news of your health. You know that we value him to such an extent that it is most desirable for us to have information about him, and that if writing to you brings us joy, then our joy will double when we receive such letters from your magnificence. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” You might be interested in:
