[Esteemed Mr. Colin,
Thank you for your thoughtfulness; the relics my father left me have once again returned to my side. Last night, I slept exceptionally well, more peacefully than any night since I arrived in Thunder City.
I assure you, I will never lose it again, regardless of the reason. After all, it's not just a gift from my father now, it's also a token of your affection, which I will cherish and always keep by my side.
Also, this morning, just as I opened my eyes from my dream, I happened to see a bird with purple feathers perched on the windowsill.
It reminded me of your eyes; I wonder if you sent it to greet me. If so, I would like to send a letter to greet you, hoping it's not too presumptuous to bother you.
Wishing you a pleasant day.
——Erin Campbell
