The ship that took me to China in my dreams has, I'm sad to say, gone up in flames. Luckily, we were docked in Macao, and no one was lost to the flames except for my uniform jacket. Luck being what it is, I was then given urgent orders to make haste to Istanbul so that I can deliver three eggs purchased by the Crown to England before they hatch.
As these orders carry a very real time limit, I have decided that we will complete the journey by land, as there is no time to wait for repairs to the ship, though the journey, through desert and mountain, is not known to be an easy one. I've hired a Mr. Tharkay to guide us, though I am not entirely certain of his trustworthiness. I pray he does not take my money and abandon us halfway through the desert.

Speaking of orders, I have just recieved fresh ones myself. It seems I am to leave on a training mission next week. I'm afraid our dinner on Sunday will have to be our last for some time.

I know we have just discussed the possibility of having you and your lady friend over for dinner sometime soon, but I'm afraid I must ask for your patience and forgiveness. It seems I am to be shipping out next week, and I do not expect to return for close to a month. I hope you do not mind taking a rain check until my return.
