[1246] "I hope all is well with you, my son; I hope, son, you are free from affliction; I hope you keep yourselves going by gleaning; I hope roots and fruits are plentiful. I hope gadflies and mosquitoes and creeping creatures are but few; in the forest teeming with beasts of prey, I hope there is no harm to be found."
