[A letter to Marcellus Saenus.]

[Erudiche]

[A hand-written letter with a return address in Hasheema's Hope.]

Legate Saenus,

I write to you as a scholar. My associate, Alejandro Benjazar, informed me that you have in your possession copies of the Long Pretense, Vol. I and II. While I understand you are presently preoccupied with the business of government, I thought to inquire as to whether I could access these tomes. They would prove immensely useful to an ongoing project of mine.
