ORDER ONLY

I have some rather good news.

As of August 1st, the Magical government of France has agreed to formally recognise Albion as the official government of the United Kingdom. We’ve also hammered out a formal trade agreement after many long hours of negotiation. Our next step is to appeal to the International Confederation of Wizards, and to send a delegation to speak directly with the Muggle government of France and the United Nations, which will no doubt be another lengthy process indeed, but will be a necessary step in our reintroduction to both the magical and non-magical international community at large -- and what a relief to be able to make some initial forays before the wards come down. France's formal recognition help greatly with our appeal to the ICW (and it doesn't hurt that the current Mugwump is French, either)Regardless, we can now expect a far more free-flowing exchange of medical supplies, food, and other necessities. We'll be coordinating with the Communications committee for full coverage in the newspapers and radio.

It has been a lengthy, often frustrating process – Mr Foote, MP Birdwhistle, Cedric, and Stebs deserve a rather large round of congratulations for their tireless efforts.

Excellent news, Allie. So, we can expect the first shipments as of the weekend? Or early next week?

I've got a list for Aleks, assuming we can get word to him, and that he hasn't completely given up on the sideline.

I know your team has been burning the candle at several ends, and are gearing up for the upcoming actions around the wards. Please be utterly honest with me. Can you spare Evelyn on Thursday, for the entire day? If not, I understand.

Mrs Longbottom,

I say, good show, indeed. Does that mean it's possible to send messages through to other countries now, as well?

Excellent news. And not a moment too soon.

We've an updated list of necessary medicinal imports. I'll see it on its way to Dover tonight.

Every time I go looking for you, you're surrounded by people who all need a minute of your time, so I'll ask here -- how are you holding up?

If you need a shoulder, just say the word. Or a cup of tea. Or somebody to fob off all those people who need a minute of your time onto, I can do that too.

I've done up a hamper for you to take with a number of things you might need whilst you're at the cabin. With very clearing dosing instructions on the bottles/phials/packets/pots.

You are absolutely to call me if I'm needed for whatever reason, though. At whatever time.

All will be well here, I promise. Only take care of yourselves there. Each and every.
