Sirius,

I've been reading back through the Order conversations and I wanted to ask... do you think we might be able to get a message to my mother? Perhaps someone could give a letter to that Aleks chap who meets you at the solstice--I say, that's this Friday, isn't it?--and he might send it through the Muggle post, what? I'd like to let her know that everything's all right.

I'm not going to be allowed to leave the Jugsons' house for a few days (don't worry about it; just a misunderstanding about their servant...and Hydra's cat), but I could certainly send you the letter via owl.

If it's too late to arrange anything of that sort, I'm sure it'll keep. And of course, it goes without saying that if you think it's too dangerous, I'll of course defer to that judgement.

I...know she can't reply, what, but...well, I have quite a lot to tell her. About Hydra and...everything. Which is why I thought handing it across the wards would be the safest way, so it shan't be intercepted.

What do you think?
