His Majesty, King Leka

Dear King Leka:

The elephant arrived safely and is now comfortable in his new home. I cannot tell you how grateful Nancy and I are, and I cannot describe the emotions of our son Skipper.

It was more than generous of you to do this for us, and again, we both deeply appreciate your great kindness.

Thank you once more and our warmest regards to you.

Sincerely,

(Signature): Ronald
