Re: Arrived safely

 

Dear Ambassador Joy,

Just wanted ta send you a quick note lettin ya know we arrived safely to Alastair I. Alastair I is the name everyone voted on which touched me deeply, it bein my late husband's christian name. So far, everything is goin fine and we're about halfway through with gettin the buildings up and such. Alastair I is a bit of an odd little planet but I'm sure we'll settle in just fine.

 

Also I'll be briefin the team tonite after dinner about what I suspect lays beneath the dirt of Alastair I. I know it might come as a shock to some but in the end, I'm sure they will be as excited as I am. I do feel bad about not tellin them before but this was too important. Here's hopin they understand. We should know in the next few weeks if my suspicions are correct. I remember my promise to let you know the minute we know something. I won't forget.

 

Hopin this letter finds you well and happy.

 

Warm regards,

 

Hannah

It is good to hear of your safe arrival, and that your new home has a name rather than a number. Not knowing your husband, I inquired as to the origin of his name, discovering that Alastair is the Scottish way of speaking and writing Alexander, a well known leader of Earth's antiquity. It seems your late husband now has more land under his name than Alexander the Great ever had. This is interesting. It reminds me, however, to set up a better long term system of government than Alexander did. I would hope to create something far more lasting.

 

Things are continuing here. Politics as usual. Well, I can say. Happy, we shall see.

 

Joy
