alt_arthurThe rumours of typhoid in the Epping Forest camp in Essex are just that--rumours only.
The rumours of dysentery in the Tunbridge Wells, Swale and Ashford district camps are unfortunately true. All out-of-camp work assignments there and the adjacent districts have been stopped, in an attempt to keep it from spreading. Thank Merlin at least the harvest is in, so we won't have to deal with food shortages through the winter because the work force has been laid low. Well, worse food shortages than we already have, I mean.
I almost lost it and hexed Griderson when he sneered that of course the damn Muggles were getting sick; what else did you expect from animals that liked to wallow in their own filth? Managed to restrain myself--barely.
These poor people. Make them live in desperate conditions and then blame them for the diseases that arise. What misery they have to go through just to live their daily lives.

Anyway, I popped in to say I'm putting together a shipment from Laszlo Ltd to provide you with some of the ingredients you requested. No surprises this time. I want to make sure we have some legitimate parcels so that we can establish the business for real. But it's addressed to 'Prongspads Industries' and marked to be held at the central Owl office in London until someone picks it up with a confirmation number. It's also marked for Payment upon Delivery, I'm afraid, as I've no clue what the postage will come to. Sorry.
I'll send the confirmation in an upcoming post in a couple days. I think we may need some codes to further ensure our safety - in case anything is compromised. I want to test the code I'm devising. I'll post the details, as I said, soon.
Order only
