I am just so very delighted to welcome you, and I'm so very glad you're willing to be more accommodating to our shared goals than Poppy Pomfrey was. I particularly appreciate the speed with which you were able to arrange your personal affairs. Now, please don't hesitate to ask the house elves for any little thing you need. One of the little privileges of being staff, of course, is the ability to focus on one's work without the teensy distractions.
Now, I know you're hoping to continue your research while you're here, but before you begin on that again, I really must ask you to provide me with a full and complete inventory of items in the Infirmary. If you see any specific needs, I will do what I can to obtain them (though perhaps you have far better contacts than I, in that little area of the world.)
I am, of course, continuing to insist that students seek you out only when necessary, and not for the teensy punishments I am forced to dole out. Thus, I have every reason to assume that once you've settled in, you should have plenty of time for your own research interests. And of course, if a student or two would be a useful subject, coordination might be possible.
Now, I am of course aware that you hope this will only be a temporary appointment - the end of the year, as we discussed - and that you're hopeful of higher and better things at St Mungo's in future. And of course Healer Acton spoke quite warmly of that to me, if you do what's required here.
Right. I've any number of other matters to attend to this evening, but please do tell me if you find anything the least bit unexpected in the Infirmary or the quarters. I did ensure that the house-elves cleared everything out to storage, but one never knows if something got left behind somehow.
