Thank you!

I need the exact wording of the Hogwarts admission letter. I don't have my own copy of Sorcerer's Stone, though I've committed it to memory and made note of important and colourful tidbits.

There's just this little detail I need and which isn't stashed in my mind's many cluttered HP drawers: "We await your owl by no later than..." What date was it?

No need to include the school supply list, I have that down pat, thanks again!
