Private Message to A Dolohov

Bring yours.

Ipswich 146. Evan will meet you.

Brief yrs re. OL's new troops. Avoid them. Tend not to be discerning re. Friend v. Foe.

Blanketed in low clouds. Have had snow over night, but stopping now. Low visibility until day burns this off.

Re. burning. Several fires underway. Bring yr Healer trainee. Enough wrk to keep her busy.

Keep alert for traitors using incendiary weapons. Muggle weapons. Hybrid innovations. You'll find it fascinating. Mind you don't take a bullet, though.

Come as soon as you can. Plenty of wrk here for field expedition.

Batya?

Report on Desai? The rest of yours? Yourself?


That nest of rebels had to be eliminated. The message sent couldn't have been clearer or more forceful.

A protracted struggle would have been more costly in lives, resources, and public distraction.
