My team and I thank you for this research. They had heard some of Mr. Petrie's work but hadn't yet bee
able to secure a copy of it. From the few minutes I've had to study it it's clear he's operating beyond his scope. Frankly, I'm surprised the Egyptian ministry hasn't yet intervened. The amount of curses Mr. Petrie appears to have encountered is obscene.

I've only just begun to get my bearings here, so I hope to have tales to tell in my next letter. The trip through the continent seemed endless in comparison to the trip across the Atlantic, surprisingly. The heat here will take some getting used to, it's so unlike South America. Otherwise, I'm well and overjoyed to be back at work.

I hope things are well back in Hogsmeade. Perhaps we shall meet on Africa this time instead of Australia as we discussed. Do let me know if you'll be traveling at all.
