Post Card Solution
Postcard #1
Dear Jon,
I’ve arrived at school and found these charming postcards. Sending one every month seems a sweet way to stay in touch. I often wish Dad were still here. I am learning so much that I know he would truly appreciate. Maybe he would have left me a little more then some old antiques.
Love,
Elizabeth
Postcard #2
Hi Jon,
I received a message from James and he tells me that the elephant may be more valuable than I first thought. Thanks for keeping an eye on it for me. I plan to retrieve it when I return.
Take care,
Elizabeth
Postcard #3
Dear Jon,
Got the appraisal details from our brother—seems like the Gilded Elephant is quite a fortune on its own! Suddenly, what felt like small tokens are treasures.
Cheers,
Elizabeth
Postcard #4
Hey Jon,
Each lecture I attend fuels my appreciation for my studies. History isn’t just about the past; it’s making sense of our present fortunes too!
Best,
Elizabeth
Postcard #5
Hello Jon,
When I return, we need to find a buyer for the Elephant. I’m thinking a 10% finder’s fee for you—could be about $25,000. Who knew Dad’s gift would turn out so lucrative?
Yours,
Elizabeth
