10.60

I state: Recently I learned with respect that you, Prefect and Academician of the Dragon Diagram, have relinquished control of this famous region, and on this day are hastening to obey the imperial summons and return to the palace, setting your boat upon the road. Being an escapee in the mountain forests and sick, I cannot hasten to the distant outskirts to see you off; this only adds to my melancholic longing. With sincere gratitude for your benevolence and virtue, I present this disclosure. I humbly hope for the compassionate consideration of your Excellency.
