Devotion to God and great wealth.

The letter does not mention anything in regard to the loyalty the crusader had for his country. It also does not talk about the love of battle. However, the letter talks about the devotion to God he felt. The crusader says that God has brought him his prosperity and safety, and he feels happy to be nearing the "home of our Lord." He also discusses wealth, as he says he now has twice as much gold, silver and other riches than he had when he left.
