I don't mind writing to Your Excellency often, even though I've received nothing in return. I answer for you myself: amid the cares of military life, there's no room for leisurely correspondence. I just hope my steady stream of greetings doesn't start to feel like an intrusion.
I'd almost consider it a favor returned if I simply knew that what I write doesn't bore you.
