Indeed, I was surprised to learn he had pinpointed the trouble with the requisitions (and the solution) so quickly - but he quite surprised me by imparting that he has built up a network over his time with me (not altogether unexpected) and that he appreciated the way in which he may exercise his autonomy even when I am not available. (He added something to the effect that he can increase his productivity in some ways more when I am occupied elsewhere - though I think that was intended almost as cheek!)
But I should be happy to write to each of the boys to instruct them. It is true that Draco is not as used to mudblood servants as Marvolo. I do caution you that Marvolo's can be a permissive nature when it comes to his subordinates, which may make the assignment of the young drudge a challenge for him. Nonetheless, the sooner he learns to curb his inclination toward leniency, the better he shall be able to protect himself from exploitation.
