My dear Frederick,
I must ask that you have a little more faith in me, for you are beginning to sound like my father. I've yet to find any discernible evidence of the rumours you so describe about that place. Is it not more likely that they are nothing but the tales of paranoid old men spun for the purpose of discouraging foolish youngsters? Perhaps the drunkards, the mad, or the destitute have wandered in and lost themselves there from time to time, but considering I am, as I'm sure you would agree, one of the most skilled deer stalkers in our region, I am confident I shall enter and leave with little consequence.
You will see it for yourself in three week's time when I bring Sir Collingwood the finest specimen he has ever laid eyes on and win our little bet, not to mention his daughter's hand in marriage. I will be sure to buy you some drinks to calm your nerves with the money the next time we meet.
I hereby promise you nothing will happen to me in the forest.
Your old friend,
Edwin Morris
