Dear Mr. Gladstone,

— MJ is MAGICAL —
Regarding the malaria, let's just say I'm not sure magical people are well-adept at handling it at the current situation. It checks off all the boxes: rare, mundane, foreign, and they have no magic to cure it with. My body has proven ever-resilient—so much so that it's almost annoying. If the disease is going to linger without cure, I would much rather suffer a quick and painless death, wouldn't you? I'm getting restless but they won't let me leave.
Regarding the expedition, we've seen an odd lack of people in the infirmary since the second day. It's as if the lot has vanished—hopefully the fog-warp hasn't sucked them into oblivion. I liked at least a few of them.
Forever yours,
Bella Scrimgeour
