: : But, I'm a bit puzzled. Is there an intra-trade war starting to simmer? The Canadian Trader wants MY Delftware and the French Trader wants MY Belgian Chocolat? What is this? Have you been trading behind my back?
: My dear E. Lane,
: What are you thinking? I would go behind your back? Me? I am simply supplying our friends with whatever they need. No secrets there. Honestly. Trust me. You will get what is yours too.
: Affectionately,

Okay, trusty ol' Trader ...
How could I have thought you'd double deal on me? You were acting for their benefit and I apologize. Are our friends willing to pay in Dutch Guilders for their "needs"?
One thing; this last comment of yours ... "You will get what is yours too." This can be taken as a sincere intention. However, I can't help but to think this is a subtle threat? Promise of justice a la Dutchie? You know, get what's coming to you! Pay back? Reproach? Blood vengeance?
Please reassure that you are on the level here, DT.
Sincerely but suspiciously your PARTNER,
E. Lane
