+From Johannes, Summer 1222
+
+> To the respected Mathieus of House Jerbiton, Johannes Roth sends greetings and good wishes:
+>
+> My friend Alexios has spoken much of your wisdom and understanding, and thus, being 
+> unsure where else I might turn, I am venturing to contact you in this matter, and hope 
+> that you will not take it amiss that I have done so, whether you are able or willing
+> to help, or not.
+>
+> I have reached that age wherein a man begins to consider marriage and the continuation 
+> of his line. Sadly, owing to the strain in my relationship with my father, Baron Roth, 
+> the origin of which lies in the irregularity of my conception, I find myself unable, 
+> to seek his advice - or at least unwilling to do so and reopen old wounds.
+>
+> I know you have many claims on your time, but I am hoping nonetheless that you might 
+> be able to offer me some advice on how I might proceed; I would be most grateful no
+> matter how much or how little.
+>
+> Yours with respect,
+>
+> Johannes ex Guernicus
