I understand that your favorite friend, Nellie, was recently lost while on a walk to the local shops with your babysitter, (which is ironic considering she survived several near losses in France at Euro Disney last month).
I know you're sad, and I'm so sorry you lost Nellie, but I bet she was found by another little girl who really needed an elephant friend. Does that make you feel better? Probably not.
I hope I can make you feel better. Your (favorite) aunt, Annie, picked me up at a sweet little store in Berkeley this weekend, because I had a kind face and she knew I would be a good companion for you. I won't claim that I can replace Nellie in your heart, but I hope eventually you will love me just as much.
I can't wait to meet you.
Love, Ellie
P.S. I am bringing another buddy with me to be friends with your sister Chloe. I think the four of us will get along just great.
Hi Auntie Annie,
Ellie looks great. I will mind her more carefully this time.
Love
Kaylin
