I'm not quite sure if the English version is OK or not, so please let me know if I made some (serious) mistakes while translating it from Spanish or Kexyana.

You're free to post here your translations to any conlang of yours.

A husband's letter to his wife in times of uneasiness
by Kyonides

Ninayse, Friday 11th of July, 2008

Dear wife,

I write you a letter today because I don't know if I'd be able to do it again for a long time. Now you would ask yourself what could be the motive of such an unconcerned attitude, especially because you wouldn't expect this coming if I've been so loving, so helpful, so unselfish... In this respect I can only say I love and will keep loving you no matter what happens next. About time itself I can tell you that's what makes me worry, that I count on you but I don't have time to come back home. This makes me feel so sorry.

Before I leave, I'd like to ask you to let my beloved Clarissa, who lives at two blocks from home, know that I've found another woman and we're planning to start a new life together as soon as possible. Thank you in advance.

Yours sincerely,

your beloved Erisko

Carta de un esposo a su mujer en tiempos de intranquilidad
por Kyonides

Ninayse, Viernes 11 de julio del 2008

Querida mujer,

te escribo hoy porque no sé si lo pueda volver a hacer en mucho tiempo. Ahora te preguntarás cuál será el motivo de semejante “despreocupación”, sobretodo al no esperar esto de mi parte por ser yo tan amoroso, tan complaciente, tan desinteresado. Al respecto solo puedo decir que te amo y te seguiré amando sin importar lo que pase. Sobre el tiempo te diré que eso es lo que me preocupa, el que tan solo cuente contigo y no con el tiempo para regresar a casa. Esto me causa una gran pena.

Antes de marcharme de aquí, te pido que le avises a mi amada Clarisa, quien vive a dos cuadras de la nuestra, que me uní a otra mujer y pensamos reiniciar nuestras vidas en el menor tiempo posible. Te lo agradeceré mucho.

Atte.

Tu amado

Erisko

As, I promised yesterday, here it is written in the Eleypherion script:

StrangeMagic, that's so pretty! It looks kind of like Tolkien's Sarati script except maybe more curly. Smile

Or, maybe it looks like Mongolian. Cool!

I do not understand the English version. I can't tell what the husband is thinking, or what he thinks his wife thinks before she reads the letter, or what he thinks she'll think after she reads it.

I think the problem may be that it is quite out of context. We don't know what he is referring to by " In this respect I can only say I love and will keep loving you no matter what happens next." And other ambiguous points in the letter.
