At some point by the 1890–1891 school year, a letter was sent from Helen Thistlewood to her brother Eddie letting him know she would be retiring as an Auror and returning home soon to settle in nearby Upper Hogsfield. It was kept inside Eddie's home in Brocburrow.[1]

My dearest Eddie –

I was so pleased to receive your letter. It has been too long since I've been home. You may be interested to know that my time with the Ministry will soon be coming to an end. It seems they've forced me into an early retirement, and there's not much I can do to change their minds. No matter. In all my years as an Auror, I've seen over and over again how those at the top are more interested in preserving their place than in actually serving those about them.

But that's enough of that. There will be time enough to tell you the tales of my life out here in the great big world when we meet again. You'll be happy to know that I'm coming home soon – although I am thinking of settling in Upper Hogsfield upon my return. Still nearby.

I intend to enjoy the time I have left. There are still mysteries to solve, after all.

Ever your sister,

Helen Thistlewood London[1]
