Reporting in to tell you all that you may stand down from fussing over me. I am perfectly well.

I've survived poisoning, harassment, boredom, the physical duress of trekking at high altitude over challenging terrain, and have endured sleeping rough in variable conditions controlled by the station. (My results have proven without doubt that it needn't be actually freezing to induce hypothermic symptoms, but that those set in faster and more severely the colder it gets--which one wouldn't have thought needed investigation, but they are most welcome to my report if it will please them to accept it and release me from this tedious course.)

I have several stops to make after leaving here and no intention of sharing my itinerary with anyone but you all. I've learned my lesson, thank you.

Alice. Could I be of help if I were to make a stop at Moddey Dhoo? I could be there for a couple of days. Are there supplies you need that I could pick up before coming?

I've written Charlie to see if he could find a way to get me some fresh dragon's blood. My stocks of Cinnabaris Vitalis have gone beyond their date and will need replacing. I haven't heard from him yet, but I know it's no easy favour for him to manage.

Hope the rest of you are well and that I see some of you soon!

Sirius. Thanks are not enough to repay your efforts on my behalf. Are you still hereabouts? Perhaps I could buy you a drink at the Giant's Cloak this evening?

And you, dear friend, have earned my undying gratitude for your help in what has just passed.

What errands can I do for you that you set aside while I was ill? I'm happy to make any stops you might wish.

Poppy, I'm so glad to hear you're on the mend. If you're feeling sturdy enough, we would be glad to have your help. The fluxweed seedlings are requiring some babying, and we're still in a frenzy of canning and preserving all we've recovered from the storm. The children also need their yearly poking at as well. If you're in need of a spot of rest before you start off the term again, though, don't hesitate to take it.

Would it be too odd for you to pick up some carrot and parsnip seeds? If it would, than you would just need to bring yourself and we'd find plenty for you to do.

Sorry, Poppy, I've already found an open Floo and returned (and none too soon: I think Ellie was counting on Sinbad being back at her side on as busy a night as this is shaping up to be).

No repayment is necessary, though.
