Dearest Sir,
I have described these events that came to pass during my time. And fearing they would be forgotten, fading from the memory of forthcoming generations, I, amongst the dead, awaiting my death, have written everything I heard and verified. And in order for the inscribed not to disappear with the scrivener, thus failing the purpose of this work, I have added parchment so that, in case someone reads it in the future, he may continue the work I have begun.
