Dear Flo:
Thank you for the most thrilling present [of a stuffed animal resembling Morris the Cat] I have received in many many Christmases.
As you know, it is my principle not to accept presents, but a superior value such as Morris takes precedence over lesser issues.
THANKS again!
Sincerely,
Ayn Rand
