Private Message to Percy Weasley

Cancel morning appointments.

Blast - is Cuthbert on at eleven? Keep No, cancel that as well. Monday will do.

However. Need to see Bole and Cuffe before Court to-day.

First: Find the file on Maule's operations in New London - and the properties in Launceton. Crouch needs them at MLE postehaste.


Oh, and Mrs Malfoy asked me to confirm Fudge, Thicknesse, Rookwood and Rowle for to-night. See to that at some point, if you please.

Private Message to Barty Crouch, Jr and Rufus Scrimgeour

The files on Maule - have they arrived? Weasley said he sent them, far too late for my liking, however.

Should have had Pandya invent an excuse to hold him a few hours' more. Damnation.

Rufus - his properties in Launceton: Have you set guards there as well? He'll likely clean up his out-of-town affairs before running to ground.

Blast.
