June 2nd, 1888

My son,
Mr. Julius Scrimgeour,

I have been deliberating writing the family for fear that what transpired between myself and that har your sister has caused undue rumours and stress on yourself and your sister.

I hope yourself and Araminta are doing well and trust my wife is suitably well. As I am not present, it would be prudent to remind you that you are in charge of the household during my absence.

Did yourself and Araminta attend the Hogwarts ball? Pray tell you both found yourself suitors.

How is the house keeping? Is it being kept to well?

It is with all my love to yourself and your sister that I send you this owl and trust I will receive a response soon. Please address your owl to the Ministry with reference to my name; all correspondence is to be screened by the Ministry.

Please would you drop by Gringotts if you've the chance and withdraw some galleons for your sister and yourself as a treat. My key is in my study. Your mother knows the location.

Your father,
Mr. Argus Scrimgeour
