Mr. Ronald Reagan

Dear Ron,

Thank you very much for your thoughtful letter.
I'm pleased that your hard work and the lumber which
you harvested was of some benefit to your family.

What's important to me is not the wood or the money,
what's important to me is to build and to maintain 
with you a relationship of trust and generosity.

When I get back to Konnarock in about four weeks, I'll
be in a better position to decide whether to proceed
with clearing the land, and I hope to talk to you then.

Meanwhile, I thank you very much for the help you have
given me. With best wishes to you and your family,

Sincerely yours,
Jochen Meyer
