Got through the other exceedingly polite letters, it’s like reading those memes where a simple sentence is progressively made as ridiculous and convoluted as possible.
One letter contains the knowledge of the book of super secret sewing-jutsu, which is very kind of them to teach you the ways of and is for the greater good of the world (they assure you), but only if you send money to help benefit the school.
I guess begging letters haven’t really changed in more than 100 years 
The third letter had punctuation, was less overly-polite and in shorter sentences, but I’m not even sure what it was supposed to be about, it just read like utter nonsense (I really hope that this was a letter that Soseki actually received at one point because it is nuts).
