Dear Sir, I exercise the most beautiful profession there is, that of lapidary. I mainly work for worthy people in the colonies. However, sometimes I work for people from a background that you seem to know. Indeed, maybe the names of Morgan, Davis, de Graaf are not unknown to you? They are all former clients. I cut the most fantastic gemstones for them. As adventurous as they are, when it comes to pleasing their ladies, these men are ready to give in to all coquetry ... A request that comes up often, and that I am unable to satisfy alone, is to find rough stones lost by these adventurers during their peregrinations ... Here is what I propose to you: if you manage to find me thanks to these documents, I will offer you some stones that I have kept, and work opportunities for later ... Do you accept? G. Woodham.
