Dear •Van:.. •
Ai

I have yours regarding animal trainer. e)e ' _7.,
"'e have a man coming from India who is an• export 1
with elephants and who we can no doubt get for
about X50.00 a month. It will cost us X500.00
to cot him here but he will save that much in a
• . couple of years, as he has a lot of experience i
with elephants, when. they get sick and have trouble
with their toes - as they frequently do - this man
• will know what to do. . 1;e will also be able to 'put t
• the elephant to work.
If we can get the elephant going around the `••
Beach hauling the wagon I had built for him, it will
•4' .-:;f.--=•.`,,-,•-•.;- .:-7..;•-•;"..... •.,...--.:'
be quite a dra:iing card. I imagine that thousands ''
0 • • and thousands of post-cards will be printed of this
elephant, Incidentally, I am noir figuring that I
might hire him out to some. of the moving picture peo- ,
ple and get our money back. Also, I think a Hindu in a
l'-'';
a Hindu garb will • be very much' more attractive than to
have some rough neck stake driver from a circus.
• I am sending' Salie from here 0500.00 to pay
the trainer's way into this country .arid I have already • ;••i
received permission to bring him in.

Very truly yours, r
