SpoilerFull text of the letter

It is remarkable how easily the ink of a scribe can wash away the blood of a massacre.

We have scoured every inch of the cellarage for the object mentioned in that wretched countess's final breath. If such a relic exists, it remains hidden from my men. I suspect it lies deeper — perhaps within the very veins of the salt mine where the air grows thin and the men refuse to tread.

Let the secret rot in salt. It is safer for us all.
