Dearest,
this is the last letter you will
receive that won't be read.
All the letters after today will be left open for the censors to read.
I'll try to tell you as much as I know
before the fellow who is
going to mail this letter leaves.
We are going on a boat ride.
Don't be frightened. We are coming back.
