Dear Mrs. Goyle,

I find it hard to imagine that any child of yours would be attending Hogwats so soon. You are right, it does feel as if only yesterday we were listening to Professor Ruskin’s lectures ourselves. How odd it is to think that time has passed so quickly. I am sure he is excited to attend. I suspect you and the other children are not as keen to be separated from him, however?

I am sorry to hear of your brother’s passing. His daughter is lucky to have you caring for her. I can only imagine the young lady she will become under your tutelage.

Often I find myself sorry that Felicity has been placed in such a position. She should be living her life among the vibrant and living not in the chambers of a dying man, but she will not be swayed.

It is good to hear your family is otherwise well and expanding. I’m sure you enjoy the company of them, especially in these times.

As for myself, I am well. There is little to report here as my life has remained much the same these past years.

Sincerely,
Mr. P. Adlard, Jr.
