SpoilerFull text of the letter

(..)

I have coughed up blood all day, and Father is beside himself with worry. Since Mother was taken by the wasting sickness, his mind has grown unsettled. I fear what he may do to keep me alive.

(..)

This morning I am strangely restored, my handkerchief unstained. Father rejoices, yet my heart is troubled. Such sudden health feels unnatural.

(..)

Oh, sweet Shrike, save me! I now know what Father has done. I would rather die than become one of those mindless creatures! If only I had the courage to end my own suffering...
Send me mercy, Shrike, or send me death. I beg thee, send me death!
