xena
English translation:Not correct Latin
Explanation:
Dear Xena,

this is not correct Latin. It does not make any sense as it is. Maybe changing a few words and/or endings...

adfectio: feeling, disposition, love...
incommodus: inconvenience, but is in the wrong case for preposition "ab". Should be "incommodis" (ab incommodis: "From the inconveniences")
Cognosco: I am aware of, I know
Amo: I love

If the speaker "loved the affection", adfectio should be adfectionem...

all in all, what a chaos!

Explanation:
maybe what was meant was something like "you will learn (who is your) friend through (his) affection in difficulties"
