Dear Gretchen,
On your next Hogsmeade weekend your uncle and I believe that you and I ought to make some time to visit the modiste, and perhaps get some tea together to discuss your plans for after school.

If your time is short, then we can combine the chat and the modiste.  You need to order your dress for the Hogwarts Coming Out Ball at a minimum but I'm aware that you've missed out on this months visit and may have other plans with your friends.  If you confirm your time I will make the appointment for as early as possible in the day so might reclaim as much of the day as possible. 

The modiste is non-negotiable.

Love
Aunt Nel
