Yesterday, we received a rather remarkable gift.
It has been a challenge, cobbling together our store of magical knowledge from old textbooks, the occasional bookstore, and memory. When I opened the crate and saw so many lovely books and materials covering all range of subjects, it was very nearly overwhelming. We feel quite rich indeed.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
We'll put the books and notes to good use. The memories Laura and I have of Astronomy and Arithmancy respectively may be quite rusty (and Frank and Jacinda didn't go past OWLs), but Regina has pounced on your notes with eagerness, and has already started pulling and prodding us into filling in the gaps in our knowledge. Fu, Pilar, and Danny have taken it upon themselves to survey for the best place to set up the telescopes, and by summer, we'll have taken our first much-needed steps into integrating those areas into our existing coursework. (Pilar is the most eager by far. She was in utter raptures at your lecture, Siz.) And the other books will be much used and loved as well, I can assure you!
Arca, I'll be passing along some feedback about your programming. It all looks quite solid, and I am very pleased. Initial distribution of the pamphlets will be a bit of a challenge, of course, but well worth our while in the long run, I think. The international sports programme sounds like it'd be just perfect. There might be a little politicking that may need to be done in Aldrich, only because it's important they're fully behind any new initiatives as well, and they're hesitant about devoting airtime to our target demographic, but I think you've made a convincing argument for our need.
