Dear Dr. Barnes,
Thank you for your response, it brought me immense joy to discover that my letters found their target recipient. I also want to thank you for your concern regarding my state of health, and your consideration of taking me as an apprentice. I wish I could say that my health was improving, but that would be false. In fact, my condition is getting worse. This leads me to believe that my condition is not a curse of the gods, for I have done no deed impure since I contracted my first sign. Now I feel infected. My skin weakens and peels, and has spots of a monstrous green color. I continue to cough blood. My sickness still acts as a muse for my art, however it becomes difficult to enjoy my existence. I try to remain positive when I am around my family, but they hear my coughs and see my skin, despite my efforts to hide it. I have committed to see a doctor far from here, and I will embark on my journey tomorrow, so in case you never hear from me again, note that I hold you in the highest regard, and I greatly appreciate your interest in my cause.
Best Wishes.
Osiris Abasi
