Tenn Mine Medicentre, LHS 3437
Hello Sam,
I seem to be spending a lot of time in medical facilities these days.
It turned out that the stab punctured my right lung, and was inflicted by a long, thin bladed weapon, probably a stiletto. I've had surgery, and the lung's as good as new now, but they're keeping me in for observation for another 24 hours. There shouldn't be any scarring, either, which is a relief.
They soon caught the thug who attacked me. Apparently he just did it as part of a stupid drunken bet, and I was in the wrong place at the wrong time. He'd dumped my handbag when he found nothing in it of any interest to him, so I've got that back. The whole thing was all caught on the station security cameras. How he thought he'd get away with it is anyone's guess, though he was extremely drunk at the time. He probably wasn't thinking it through.
I should be out tomorrow, and able to make my way to meet you at Mullag.
Loving you breathlessly,
Jem
