I know very well, you are not obliged to me for the confidence I place in you, because I do it at a time when I stand in need of your assistance; but I know likewise, that I should have lost your esteem, if I had acquainted you with all I am now going to tell you, without having been forced to it by absolute necessity:
Ongi dakit ez duzula zertan niri eskerrak errendaturik, zeren zure laguntzaren premia dudan une batean egiten baitut, baina ongi ere dakit zure estimua galduko nukeela, baldin eta kontatzera noakizuna, premiak horretara bortxatu gabe jakinaraziko banizu.
