Gotyik's Letter to Vasilly

Gotyik Mishkinov writes to the Woodcutter Vasilly.

My dear friend and fellow Mishkinary Vasilly,
I am sending this letter on the post wagon that we travelled south on, and hope you are in good health. We have arrived safely in Ketterburg and have acquired lodgings at the Dancing Bear Meadhall. It is a nice establishment that treats us well. If you are ever in the area, do drop by - they put on an excellent show here.
I have written to my half-brother, Hans, requesting he send us more resources since so many were provided to the Cossacks while we were carrying out Mishkinary business together. You will be pleased to read (or perhaps hear, if a literate person is reading my letter aloud to you) that I sang your praises as our first confirmed covert in the Ketterzan villages. Do not be surprised if he also sends supplies your way.
I trust your Mishkinary work is progressing well. So far we have yet to convert anyone else, but we have set up a platform in the great town square and I am sure it is only a matter of time before the people of the Capital realise they must join the Church of the White God before they are consumed by Chernabog himself.
Lina sends her regards, but I am afraid Tatyana Tolstoya does not. I do not think she forgives you for putting her on that bear. Always remember we are doing very important work. If you can write, I would be happy to receive a letter from you.
Your good friend,
Gotyik Mishkinov
