9th of April, 1890

I read in the paper today that you made the national team as a spare player. I don't really know who the fellow who got the first tring is, because as you know, I don't follow Quidditch, but I bet you are a better seeker than them. They probably picked them because they are poor and miserable and they want to seem like good people for picking such people on the national team. Like our cousin, Arthur. Maybe with the money he makes on the national team, he'll get to pay off some of his debt.

In any case. How can you stand to still play this sport when people don't acknowledge your talent? If you had been in the Ministry, you would have already become the assistant head of some Department and you would get better pay, too! Do you even accept to be paid by the Gallivans, whose lives we could probably buy if we wanted to? I bet if they had been wealthier, they could have paid the right people so you would end up on the first string. As if [the first string seeker] got the position merely on talent!

Don't waste your potential any longer, Cash. I believe in you! Once you make enough money, you could sponsor a team yourself and you wouldn't lose touch with the Quidditch world. Maybe Papa would be willing to give you a loan, if you were to create an all pureblood Quidditch team, so we could show how real wizards play magical sports.

Yours,

Seneca
