[i]Letter to the President of the United States[/i]

Dear Mr. President,

The world is at awe with your everlasting devotion to liberty, and your steadfast character. However, I am also aware of the suffering that your people are going through in the current conflict that is occurring in your nation. Thus, Mr. President, if you would be willing to accept, I wish to give to the American people 50 strong, healthy Siamese elephants as a gift. If left with adequate food and water, they will multiply and America will have access to their own elephants. The American West is an unforgiving terrain, and I am sure that there are numerous regions that your steam powered trains and boats can not reach yet. Thus, beasts of burden are needed to travel and to settle in those regions, and I assure you that there is no finer beast of burden than an elephant. If need be, you could even use the elephants to aid your logistical operations in the Western theater where I hear that the marshy terrain, rivers, and swamps are an obstacle for even the hardiest of men. Perhaps you could even use the elephants as mounts? The choice is yours as would the elephants. Please give my offer a consideration, and may your quest towards liberty be fruitful.

From,
King Rama IV of Siam
