[Gerita]

To the most Honorable Lady Ekaterina,

greetings from this lowly Lady!  It gladdens my heart to hear that one of
your exalted position finds herself willing to practice upon such skills as
proper greetings and diction.  Would that we all found ourselves equally
willing, and more to the point, more skilled in exactly such small details
of Noble existence.  Although the event of which you speak so glowingly is
out of my range at this time, please know that my spirit holds close to your
own as you go about your endeavors upon that evening.  I am, i hope,

ever in Service,
Lady Gerita del Mare
