Dear Carl: -
As
soon as the weather moderates sufficiently
to take a chance on shipping a little elephant I am going
to forward one to you by express with a man in charge. He
is undoubtedly the swailes t elephant in this country. As
you no doubt are aware they do not breed in America. This
little fellow is only three and one-half years old and will
make you a good paper weight. Isis name is Carl II. He is
a great little pet and I am sure you will become attached
to him. The mar in charge will teach your chauffeur or
hired man to take care of him. In fact he is no trouble
at all. As their average life is one hundred years you
can see that with reasonable care he will be with you a
ion time and when he dies with old age write me and I will
send you another. He will eat most any kind of vegetables,
grass, hay, bran, bread, etc. Should you become tired of
him and want to send him to the island I would not send
him to the key until he is older and thoroughly acclimated.
I am leaving Sunday night for Denver, then to
New York. Hope to be in Miami about the 15th.
Best wishes.
Sincerely,
B/.
