Miss Smith,
I was just in the Ministry this morning, actually, so there is some news on the subject of my ship, but nothing particularly pleasant. The Department of Mysteries has reason to think, apparently, that it is cursed and has ordered us all off of it while they muck about trying to get it un-cursed... and nevermind that they didn't mention this for the past month as we've all been aboard all day patching sails and whatnot.
In any case, it looks as though I'll be stuck in port for some time still, so if you're looking for another chance to swap stories, I'll be quite available. I enjoyed talking to you, too.
