Should you happen to take note of my message to your clerk, rest assured, I am not trying to interfere -- we had a very pleasant and wholly insightful chat on Thursday about the prior state of the Hogwarts curriculum that influenced my syllabus considerably. In appreciation for his assistance (whether he knew he was giving it or not) I've sent him a stack of many of the texts he mentioned being unfamiliar with, including my translation of the Korovin should he care to follow its exercises. (If he begins to manifest the traditional side effects 'round about the second sequence, and they become too unpleasant to cope with, send him to me; I'll straighten him out.)
Your little note regarding his uncles slipped out of the manuscript while he was handing it over, by the by. Keeping a straight face was only possible due to years of long practice. I take it his presence as your clerk indicates the traditional familial sympathies are not shared in the progeny? Or are you simply indulging yourself?
Oh, and regarding that manuscript -- trite and shallow for the audience it's written for, but possibly containing merit as a schoolboy's introduction with a bit of revision. Would be happy to edit if you feel it warranted, though it will have to wait until the new year at the least.
Yours in that pleasant little stroll down memory lane, T
