Journal #1: Oedipus

Letter written by Oedipus to The Priest.

Dear Priest,

I have become aware of your concern regarding the sickness that is killing so many in your town of Thebes. I have been grieving in abundance lately. I would like to express my gratitude towards the dependence you have on me as your King. I am very happy with the obedience you have and how much you rely on me because I am king. I would like to note that I have sent  Creon to find a cure or remedy to this horrible disease. I have asked Creon to go, not because I do not feel the urgeto go myself, but because I would like to care for these sickly people and assure them and we will find help. Please let them know that I am not asking Creon as a duty to cover for me but as a favor so I can put my attention on them. Creon has joyfully accepted this task and I ask you please stay calm in this time until further notice as i am waiting as well for the results. Thank you, Priest. You as well as the townspeople are in my prayers.
