Depending on Geralt's choice of guardian for Alvin in Act III, he either receives a letter from Shani or from Triss. He must then reply, but as with many instances in the plot of the game, Geralt has choices in his reply.
I am happy to say that I found Alvin in a village nearby. The boy is all right, you do not have to worry - I will keep an eye on him.
[Note: this part of the text depends on Geralt's choice of content]
The village I have come to is nestled by a beautiful lake. The peple have welcomed me warmly, though there is a lot of work for a witcher here. Regardless, I have found a kind of inner peace here which I have not felt for a long time.

I know you care little for politics, but I would like you to do something. I want you to warn King Foltest about Adda. The princess is plotting with Salamandra - the king's enemy - which is why I cannot return to Vizima.
[either way]
I miss you dearly, my read-haired sweetheart. I miss your smile, I miss you being close to me. I hope that we well be together again soon and that all will be well.

Thank you for your kind letter. I hope that when I return to Vizima we will still be friends - that would mean a lot to me.

Beloved Triss!
Your insight made finding Alvin possible. Also, I received the amulet from Dandelion. Don't worry, the boy will be alright, I will take care of him.

I understand that I have to spend some time away from Vizima. Here in Murky Waters the time seems to pass according to its own rhythm. It is a very beautiful place - with grain fields swaying in the wind and a crystal clear lake. The people here are also very pleasant.

I hope you were able to somehow overcome the difficult situation that I put you in - I am very sorry. I think you should talk to Foltest and tell him of his sweet daughter's deeds.
[either way]
I think about you as well, Triss, and I keep thinking about the moments when we were together. I don't know if our relationship will overcome all obstacles but I don't think we should worry about that just now. What is important is that we have each other. I hope that I will see you soon.
