2nd August, 1888
Miss Lestrange,
By now, I’m sure you will have heard the wonderful news that the fog has lifted from Irvingly, and so, if you will pardon the dramatics, I am free at last! I am not entirely certain of its cause—something to do with Egypt, I know, and Aunt Temperance has chalked the matter up to ‘false idols’, which makes sense given the Biblical plagues that were rained down upon us.
I shall be pleased indeed to have you accompany us to church. St Fergus we have been attending religiously, of course, but I have missed so much the more intimate gatherings at Hogsmeade Hall. I shall be in attendance once more on the nineteenth of this month, and would happily save you a seat if you should deign to join us!
As to my supplies list and scores, they did indeed find me with ease. I trust yours did likewise?
Sincerely,
