Barrister Eke is puzzled but willing to let John Silver go...

DEAR JOHN,
SO THIS IS THE WAY YOU WANT TO FORFEIT YOUR CONTRACT FUNDS. IT BAFFLES ME WHEN I REASON BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU WRITE AND TALK. AT TIMES I BEGIN WONDERING IF YOU ARE OK OR NOT.

ALL THE SAME ANY TIME YOU WANT MY SERVICES YOU CAN GET IN TOUCH WITH ME AM ALWAYS THERE.

I WISH YOU A VERY GOOD SAILINGS IN THE ISLANDS WITH YOUR NEW BOAT.
REGARDS
BARR.FRANKLIN EKE
