Dear Macbeth, I have read your letter and am sorry to hear of your predicament. I am surprised to hear that you finally found reason to end the reign of that fool Duncan. Anyone absent minded enough to remain completely unaware of your intentions deserved to be replaced by someone of your intellect and character.

…showed last 75 words of 259 total…must be either convinced of your loyalty to Duncan and good intentions, or put to death. A warrior himself, he should be taken care of while away from the castle, and unprotected. Lastly, I suggest you remove your wife from any further involvement in these matters. Her panic during the murder suggests frailty when in a tough situation, many of which are yet to come. I hope the best of luck to your newfound kingship.
