Z,
Hello to you and O. If you do go to Evander's be sure to give my love to Charity (and all the rest, of course, but I expect she may need it more than the rest — new babies and Hogwarts all at once is a lot). I don't think I'll have a Christmas gift to her in time, unless something suitable comes up in our next port — it's the last until my birthday which would be too late for an owl by Christmas. But tell her I'll get her something delightful and exotic and it will be worth the wait.
Realized I don't have a picture of you with the baby. So if you have time to sit for a photograph (and if O will tolerate), that would be nice. If it's too much of a strain, of course don't bother; will be seeing you both again soon enough.
Love,
Alfred
