Who or what is Madam Charlotte Smythe and why is she pretending to post as that traitor? I thought your people had discovered intelligence leading to the arrests of the authors of these patently specious posts.

I'm sure I do not have to point out that this sort of claim - now, when we await Our Lord's verdict on the very matter - may well be used as a reason not to discharge them.

We're looking back through logged entries by Smythe and there's been absolutely nothing prior to alert anyone to seditious thoughts. She seems to have rarely used her journal, and mostly to place owl orders, all with legitimate shops.

And you do not need to remind me, no. I'm all too aware.

Lucius, I just got an owl from St Mungo's. Apparently Charlotte Smythe is a patient there -- they say she came in last night after blowing up a cauldron in her kitchen. They seem quite convinced she's the victim of theft, rather than the perpetrator of sedition.

I'm sure MLE will be checking this claim. I'm going to drop a note to Barty to make sure he got the same owl.
