Chancellor Palpatine, it is with a heavy heart that I offer condolences for the cruel attack upon your husband, and congratulations upon your ascension. I also ask you pass on to Tony my hopes for a speedy recovery. While our paths led us down different courses, I have long respected and admired Tony's skills, and miss the friendship we once fostered when I was a member of the Tower.

May your leadership bring prosperity and peace to your people.
