Dear Mr. Carlyle:

I am informed that you seek certain knowledge of our land and can perhaps aid you in this.  In my possession are singular curios which I most happily believe of interest.  These I willingly send for your consideration, if a price can be agreed upon.  Naturally they are ancient and must command a goodly sum.  I will arrange matters to your satisfaction when your agent calls at my shop, in the Street of the Jackals in the Old Quarter.
 

Until then I remain your most humble servant,
 

Faraz Najir
