Niece,

You have in your hands the credentials of a Delegate to the Imperial Winter Court. I need not remind you that your family has expended much to secure them for you. Now these seeds must be sown and made to bear rich fruit. Like any gardener, you must beware the presence of the weevils and other blights that may infect the tender plant you are cultivating. In particular, I understand that the rice fields of House Kohatsu are infested with them. House Kamoshita's fields also bear some signs of blight, but their territories are sufficiently distant that they may overlook our efforts.

The most important element in cultivation is securing the right amount of light. Too much exposure to the sun will burn the young shoots, but too little and they will be starved of nourishment.

You are not to let us down.
Akodo Tadahiro
