After you speak to Cid in his solar in CH8, you can go over and examine the letter sitting on his desk. Unlike a lot of the documents floating about the hideaway, this one’s very easily legible. The text is as follows.
Interestingly, it would seem Valisthean contains a reduplicator character that doesn’t appear on Shirleigh’s “LETTERS OF THE REALME” chart in the new hideaway—i.e. if you have two of the same letter, you write the letter once, followed by the reduplicator. This is the first time I’m noticing it, so it’s possible it’s shorthand and not used in official writing.
My Dearest Daughter Mid,
You know I am not one for pleasantries,
so I shall be blunt. I require a name
for our little undertaking. The few ideas
I have had
~ Nautilus, Highwind, Invincible ~
I fear are better suited for a fairy tale
than a Seaship. What you lack in tact, you
more than make up for in wit, therefore
I hazard her denomination is better left
in your capable hands. Make me proud.
Your Father

最愛のミドへ
父は回りくどいのが苦手だから単刀直入に言う。俺たちの船につける名前を考えてほしい。
思いついたのは、ノーチラスかハイウィンド、インビシブルあたりだが、航行船というより、おとぎ話に出てきそうな名前ばかりで、どうにもしっくりこない。
お前は昔から機転がきく。だから、船の名前を託すことにした。期待してるぞ。
父より
