• The king was desperate and promised a big reward to the man who found the diamond.

Dear mum,I left the country because I want to find the Bermuda's Diamond to get the King’s reward. I'll use it for your health and our family.
Dear little sisters, Please look after our
mother while I am not here. I rely on you.
Love, James”.
