26 June 1888
Mr. Lestrange,
Your choice of timing for this project (which I have so far heard nothing about) is rather singular. Far be it from me to argue with the wisdom of your dear aunt; if she thinks you are so easily expendable during a time of national crisis, so be it. I will, however, speak with her before your return, and it will surprise me very much indeed if we determine that your services (apparently so disposable now) shall be required in the future.
