Your illness greatly hindered your stay with us; but the love between us has not changed at all. It was enough for us to be with you once to become your warm friends forever. You made us love yourself so much by the fact that from our first meeting you yourself discovered such an ardent and boundless love for us, without waiting for the instructions of experience, but at first sight deciding your choice and tightly tying us to yourself. That is why we are writing to you and notifying you of what you would like to know about us. Namely: we are healthy; they completed their journey safely; We now enjoy rest and complete leisure; We enjoy everyone's goodwill and feel an inexpressible relief in our souls. No one bothers us here, no one attacks us. And what’s surprising if it’s so calm in the city, when we drove the whole way completely freely. Let us know about yourself too. If we have given you pleasure by communicating this news, then we ourselves will be very glad to hear about your health. You, of course, understand how pleasant it is for people who know how to sincerely love to hear good news about those they love. The paragraphs in the text were arranged by us. – Editorial staff of “ABC of Faith” The present and the eleven following letters were written from Kukuz in 404. You might be interested in:
