Dear Tina,

While I have not yet made it back to England, I feel compelled to write to you. Pickett agrees that it is important to keep in touch with those one cares about – have I told you about the complex social patterns of bowtruckles? It really is fascinating – and I find I quite agree with him. While my time in New York was not spent in the way I had planned or intended, it was certainly enjoyable, and I am grateful I was able to meet you and Queenie and Jacob. I am not sure when you will receive this – for it depends on my arrival at port, my journey to London, and my remembering to post it with one of my owls – but when you do, please give my regards to Queenie. She is uncommonly kind, and I expect to enjoy her company again upon my eventual return. Since boarding this ship, I have already revised many sections of text, and I look forward to discussing a few new additions with the publisher – the rather stuffy one I told you about – if I am able to convince him of the importance of my book. I find that my motivation to complete this project has increased tenfold, now that I am to personally deliver a finished copy to you. How I wish that months had already passed, and that this ship were currently bound for America instead of England! And that you would be waiting for me at the docks. And now I am rambling, and so I must go.

Yours,

Newt

Dear Newt,

I only said goodbye to you a few hours ago, and for some reason I decided to write you already. I came straight home and found Queenie baking up a storm (she tends to do that when she is stressed or sad or worried about something, and I think the "something" in this case is Mr. Kowalski), which definitely has its benefits – you must try her scones when you visit again! They are delicious! – but of course I feel bad for her. Queenie has had her heart broken many times, and yet I still marvel at her ability to trust and to love wholly. I think I could learn a lot from her in those areas. Anyway, I just wanted to write something to send to you (maybe you will receive it immediately when you arrive?) before I head into the office to work late tonight. I have to wrap up the report on Grindelwald's capture and have it on the president's desk before tomorrow morning.

I think I already miss having adventures with you, Newt - although they were wild and mad and dangerous. I look forward to your next visit.

Sincerely,

Tina
