Dear Dr. White;

Enclosed is a draft of {\it Elephant 2000:  A Programming Language Based on
Speech Acts} which you may have requested.  Note the warnings about
its tentativeness.  Maybe you don't want to read it.

This draft is for your own information, but is not submitted for
publication in any form because publishing would jeopardize the possibility
of publishing the final form in certain journals.  When I have published
it then I could offer you a summary for publishing if you are still
interested.

\closing
Sincerely,
John McCarthy
