Miss Beatrice Daphnel,

I'm writing with good news: I believe I have discovered the route to set you back to rights. I will need a few things from you, namely a bit of your time and one item of sentimental value. This item can be anything you feel has a strong attachment to your life in terms of emotion or memory. When you have it, let me know and I shall meet you at the High Street modiste to advise you on how to proceed.

I hope you've been keeping well enough since Thursday — I have been hurrying as much as I could to sort this out.

Sincerely,
Ezra Applegate
Department of Mysteries, Ministry of Magic
