Dear Ms. Alice Dawson,

Unfortunately, it does. It's disheartening how the poorest can scarcely receive the proper medical attention, not to mention compensation for someone else's idiocy. I believe, if that child was seen to in a timely manner, perhaps they wouldn't have been as worse off.

I do believe they are. We haven't been to London around the holidays in some time, not since before my father was still living with us. What I remember was wonderful. Regardless of library trips, perhaps we can plan a visit around the holidays either way, whether to London or Hogsmeade.

Yes, it grieves me to think that the time of drifting apart is quickly approaching. I do not think Cameron or I will correspond much after graduating next year. Nor do I think Sisse's mother will allow her to continue to write once she debuts. Calla may be allowed, however.

I have told Anne, and she is beyond ecstatic. If I arrive looking haggard, it is likely her excitement kept me awake the entire night prior. I am certain she has much to tell you.

See you soon,

Mr. Edison Moony
