The letter is delivered by an owl who is most decidedly not Merlin, but he was left at home when Atticus and Suki left for their honeymoon.

Basil,
Suki and I stumbled upon this in a tea shop, and thought you might enjoy it. It's some tea and all the leaves were handpicked a week or so ago in the tea garden of Premosello. Please make a pot for Poppy to enjoy as well.
Also included and the real reason I've written is some dried blue tunafish for Merlin and Sakura. Please assure them they are missed and we will be home soon.
Atticus
