A letter is send to Mac'Od Bittty. The paper is covered with fine, spidery, artful handwriting.
Dear Mac'Od Bittty,
I have received your note as well as the two vials and thank you for both your efforts as well as the thought accompanying it. Being only an amateur in botanics, and a nonety in chymia, I passed it on to Filira Cuiccio Perinia, who is more qualified to draw solutions from the dust you collected. As you might remember from our expedition, when we planted the Rotoas, that Filira Cuiccio mentioned the plants emitting some sort of substance which has an effect on Kitins and under normal circumstances keeps them at bay. I have no idea how far his studies, or indeed the studies of my colleagues from the Academy, already go, or if it was just a discovery not explored further yet. Also I don't know if already samples were taken. But I am certain that the samples you sent will be of use, and very welcome.
Most likely Filira Cuiccio, my colleagues and me will meet in the very near future, and then I will ask him about the state of research. I'll let you know about the outcome.
Again my thanks, and may Jena be with you.
