Hand delivered by Takeda herself, is the following letter:
Your most august and just Madame Prince,
Please accept this simple greeting, and may its ineloquence be inoffensive to your most insightful eyes. I am most honored to have you grace these poor words with your attention, and do hope that you might find them pleasing. As your servant, I would be remiss not to ask how I might better fulfill your vision for your grand Domain. Even if it is but a simple task, any chance for service would help to guide my soul. Thus, at a time of your convenience, I would request an audience, and a chance to properly offer you my blade.
With the utmost sincerity,
-Miss Takeda Katsumi
