31 March, 1894

Miss Lycoris Dempsey,

I believe I have found a way out of the predicament you have been landed in by Thursday's incident. If you are able to obtain an item of particular sentimental value, please write me to arrange a time to bring it to the modiste. We shall be using it as the center of a Restoration Ritual — but that said, I am fairly confident it will remain intact at the end of the spell. I am even more confident that this will put you back in the memories of those who know you, which is probably worth the trade-off if it is damaged. If you have questions or concerns please don't hesitate to write.

Sincerely,
Ezra Applegate
Department of Mysteries, Ministry of Magic
