I do hope it goes soon. Despite its proximity to Hogsmeade, Irvingly is a place I never bothered to frequent during my Hogwarts years or in the time since my graduation. It seems like a dreary little village, but I suppose one could attribute that to the bleakness of the fog. I'm not sure how many will die, but there are a number of injuries.

No amount of money will ever be able to repay my debt to the MacFustys; I would offer them my salary if I could survive without it. In a world where it seems everyone is against you, it's nice to have a family—even if I cannot claim them as my own—who cares about my well-being. Perhaps with their assistance I'll be able to forge a career in magizoology (or dragonology, in this case).

I hope your family is doing well?
