10th July, 1893
Professor Brierley,
Thank you for your letter. It’s good to hear the Hogwarts professor will have some proper experience of dragons for once before teaching about them. Presuming dragons are still on the course.
As Avalon Glen is entirely Mr. Yarwood’s preserve, and he has personally recommended your visit, I would be happy to assist you in it.* We can accommodate visitors from 17th July onwards. The dragons roam freely, so you understand you will need to be accompanied at all times when in the Glen. You will need to Floo in at the Yarwood house or the village pub just beyond the reserve. Someone will escort you from there.
Come appropriately dressed. There’s some walking to do.
Yours,
Howell

*Happy was a strong word for how Howell felt about this.
