Mr. Keene,

I am pleased to learn that Miss Jennings has proven herself to be a credit, though not at all surprised. Given the change of circumstance in Hogsmeade, I suspect I could not have her back even if I wished it—but of course, the fog's dissipation will make for an entirely different set of circumstances, and we shall see who has the last laugh then.

In terms of your dilemma—my first instinct is to take any help offered. You are in a situation that neither you nor I have any experience in, and we must use the tools at our disposal to give our patients the care they require; this is and has always been our utmost duty as healers. However, I confess that I have long been rather conservative, and so I cannot shake my concern over the involvement of a vampire in a position of care over the vulnerable.

Your conscience will be your best guide in this instance, but some food for thought:

You will have many patients who know her for what she is, and refuse her care. In a time of great strife, the citizens of Hogsmeade need to see the hospital as a place of healing and trust, not of danger. If you do choose to bring her into your employ, however temporarily, you must mitigate these issues to the best of your ability. Moreover, I would encourage you to unilaterally deny her access to patients in complete privacy.

I hope I have provided you some aid, and not merely muddied the waters further.

With regards,
