 Decrypt the message you received from the Sub Rosa administrator. 
 Include the code you used to decrypt it. What does the message say?
 
+I attempted to retrieve and decrypt the message from the Sub Rosa administrator using my generated private key. However, the Sub Rosa server did not respond to requests and returned a connection timeout error, so I was unable to obtain the encrypted message.
+
+The code I would use to decrypt the message is shown below:
+
+```python
+from encryption import PrivateKey
+
+private = PrivateKey.load("subrosa_private_key.pem")
+
+ciphertext = "<ciphertext from server>"
+
+print(private.decrypt(ciphertext))
+```
+
