Dear Sir,
Your legend has traveled to the foot of my pedunculate oak.
I have assigned a seafarer to send you this short message.
He left Dieppe, I commissioned him to find you in the Caribbean.
In a tree I live as a hermit, in doing so I arouse a lot of curiosity.
I was recently invited in a local lord's house.
Being fairly observant, I saw mysterious inscriptions
On a building in his fiefdom
I think it's a treasure hidden somewhere under your skies.
Here are the sketches I made,
There are six, they should guide you.
What I think is that Norman lords and missionaries,
Taking with them some relics
Have wrecked in bad weather
And has ended their evangelical mission.
If the adventure tells you, know that I do not want any profit.
Only if this story leads to a treasure,
I promised the messenger that you would give him his share of the gold.
I wrote the documents in French, I hope it will be fine.
Father Théobald du Cerceau
