====Zegodu letter====


The oldest surviving written text in Papotement is a short letter dated from 1886, discovered in a private book collection in Pointe Henri in 2007. The letter is currently stored at the National Library in [[Jameston]] and a reproduction is on display at the National Museum of History. The letter was sent by a young Gosa woman named Zegodu to her friend Elise, inviting her to her birthday celebration. Although their lineage can be traced from their modern descendants, little else is known about the two women.
