[Extremely well-hexed to Order members]

Friends,

Through the aptitude of my good friend Elphias, we have an extremely important chance to strike at Lord Voldemort's supporters. Elphias and Mr Podmore will be overheard this Thursday speaking about, among other things, their mutual love for the Tutshill Tornadoes, as well as Elphias' desire for more security, and how as such he will be moving into an as-yet unwarded home in Worcester. We are aware that Voldemort has spies within the Ministry; we are aware also that, as Elphias was instrumental in the capture of Leon Avery earlier this summer, he will be particularly watched. We are counting on the desire of Lord Voldemort's forces for reprisal. They will think to come upon Elphias unawares. We intend, in fact, to ambush them.

I won't mince words - this will be a dangerous mission. I am looking for the more magically apt among us to set up anti-Apparation fields and other precautions around Elphias' decoy home, and I myself will be assisting in this measure. I am also looking for brave souls to face death in the cause of justice.

This mission is of great importance, and I will brook no insubordination on the matter. My word on the matter of who will be involved is final.

Thoughtfully,
Albus P.W.B. Dumbledore
