SpoilerFull text of the letter

Oh gentle, grey-feathered Shrike, have mercy on a troubled girl!

I fear my father's lost his senses after mother died.

He sets me at the spinning wheel from dawn till moonrise. My fingers are pricked to blood from work. He watches me and mumbles to himself, as if he was waiting for something.

I am worried and scared.

Help me, merciful Shrike.
