Dear Father and Mother,
I have arrived safely in Hexi. The cave shrines here are filled with divine statues—a true Buddhist paradise. I sketch day and night, unaware my supplies run low. The days bring sandstorms; nights are piercing cold. Please send warm clothes when you can.
Also, from the painting shop in Liuxian Lane, Chang'an West Market, send pigments: azurite, peach green, mud gold, and drunken hibiscus. Forgive the trouble.
