Securely sealed and warded, sent by bonded courier directly to the office of the Dux Bellorum:

Ned:

I know what happened during the last lightning rain in Londinium and that it was reversed by the actions of Eliot Gardiner working in co-operation with an individual calling himself Raphael Trevelyan, into whose past you have made some inquiries.

This individual has entered my service and as I do understand the importance of this work to the war effort, I am willing to attach him to Gardiner's office.

However, I am sure you will appreciate that it is I who will be 'debriefing' him.

I understand that there are difficulties now concerning the Academy, as Mrs Walsingham has overheard a bit of that, and that you are much occupied with those; but as it seems to me that you may need him very shortly, I expect to hear from you soon.

I shall tell him not to make any romantic plans for the evening, as he is likely to be occupied. Of course I do hope this will not be the case.

Lily
