From Miran Cache #25: An excerpt from a letter to someone in Anxi:
Unlike the rumors one hears about Dayuan, Wenli is quite well supplied at present: caravans from the farmlands of southern Gushi have been arriving, and all the city is quite taken with their comparatively exotic fruits and quaint manufacture. The local markets are bustling with purchasers. And unlike Yiwu, we do not lack medications.
However, we do not have a ready supply of samphire, and consequently our glasswork suffers for it. If you could arrange for a shipment of the samphire that grows so plentifully near Anxi, I’m sure I could find a suitable purchaser…
