Basil didn’t know why he felt the need to communicate to his seventh year intern that he was departing. He usually kept personal matters from his students altogether, but he supposed since she was helping him with his research endeavors it seemed necessary to leave her with a little note at the least.

Miss Chang –
I’m sorry to depart so abruptly. A family matter has arisen that I must attend to. If you need to reach me, don’t hesitate to send an owl and keep up the good work with your training.
Professor Foxwood.
