If I was a sickly little peasant boy designated by the aristocracy to carry messages back and forth for pennies and you found me against our city's outer wall with a deep wound in my chest from a musket ball and a letter clutched in my hand and I told you that my dying wish was to have someone read that letter to me so I would know I died for something important and you open it up and you find a single large diagram of an onion would you tell me what it was? What would you say?
