He has left his grandfather at Leyden. He was too old. Past the age limit. This is a letter that he wrote back to him. It is in pilgrim language. Try to decode it (Pilgrim language is a weird language where somethings are weird, but not everything.)

Dear Grandfather,

William can’t wait for the next letter. But something happens…
