I am well, though restless, especially after reading your letter. I would enjoy France so much more if I were not needed at home.
As they say, man's reach exceeds his grasp. I do not know what Severus can be thinking. It pains me to be torn between one of my greatest friends - perhaps, until rece my best friend, and family. But family and tradition must be held first. I don't think he really understands that, as he's never truly had a family, or any real traditions.
Your continuing vigilance is vastly appreciated, especially since the atmosphere at your residence must be tense, with your grandfather's passing. I extend my condolences, though I do not know what sort of relationship you had with him. I hope Corbina is faring well.
This letter is becoming lengthy, but- since you mention Genevieve - perhaps it is best that I meet she and Julian sooner rather than later. It would seem I may be re-entering England much sooner than I thought, though I won't speak more of it until it is certain.
