Set in the Sixteenth Century, the story follows Don Fray Tomas de San Martin, the prior of a Franciscan monastery in Lima, as he reflects on a significant letter. Despite his physical exhaustion, he feels a sense of satisfaction after reading it twice. The narrative captures his contemplative mood and hints at the importance of the document, emphasized by the ornate seals that bind it. This moment suggests a deeper intrigue involving the letter's contents and the historical context of the era.
