Private Message to Auror Lamont

Forgive the message at such a late hour; today was my sister's birthday. I've just returned from supper with her and my mother.

I did wish to thank you for calling on me during my convalescence. It was quite kind of you. Since last we met, I had the opportunity to do a little shopping and found the present you were looking for. I took the liberty of purchasing it on your behalf as I didn't like to think the shop might run out before you had the time for the errand. Consequently, you may call again any day this week to collect it in time for Christmas giving.
