Emilia, 

I hope that you are well. I hear our son has been named prefect for Gryffindor house—I expect a gift of some sort is in order, but confess that I am rather at a loss. Any guidance you might have in this department would be appreciated.

On the topic of gifts, I have secured a kitten for Anne to take to school with her—I hope that this does not step upon any toes. If convenient, I should like to deliver it in person, and perhaps spend an afternoon with her next week-end.

Yours always,
