Leibe,
I am sending along two gifts as a reminder that, though silent and unobtrusive, I still require your unyielding devotion. (To bolster a waning resolve as to your safety, no?)
The first is a piece I've come across in rummaging through some old relics. I would advise you share it with your musical staff and see if they can't dig up a pretty little operetta for the upcoming autumnal season to share in a lovely debut-- with a solo dance on your part, of course.
The second is the thumb of someone who bored me even after an evening of complete obedience.
Viel Glück, Schmetterling. I look forward to what your creativity brings forth.
G.P.
[The music sheets are appended to the letter and the thumb rests in a pristinely wrapped white box with satin red ribbon. Blood has crusted the bottom and the thing reeks. Best to simply chuck it before maggots develop.]
