[ look, gotta tell the kid who everybody was playing hot potato with that uh, we miiight still have to worry about the fae a little maybe. Strange's handwriting is legible, though there's a slight coffee stain on one of the letter's corners that Strange straight up didn't see before putting the letter in an envelope and dropping it in the mailbox ]
Dear Steven,
I cannot overstate how terribly sorry I am for my actions in Portland. Attempting to kidnap someone once is horrid, but twice is almost beyond the pale. My actions were rash and thoughtless and I shudder at the thought that I was even capable of such cruelty. Though I was not in my right mind during the attempt in the Count's castle, it still happened, so I must still apologize. If there is anything I can do to help make this up to you, then simply say so.
I wish we could put all this business with the fae behind us but unfortunately, that is not the case. During my unintentional stay with the Summer Court, I learned some information about the Portland fae that I feel you must know. I plan on telling the carnival as a whole, of course, but as one who suffered tremendously due to the fae's actions, you might appreciate hearing this information directly.
Though I confess, I don't know what would be the best way to relay this. In person? Over paper? This matter is entirely your decision and I await your reply. Likewise, I hope this letter finds you in good health.
Sincerely yours, Jonathan Strange

I like your mailbox. Did you know half of the people I was trying to contact have taken theirs down in the first place? How silly of them!
