TLS signed “Paul,” one page, 8.25 x 11.75, MPL letterhead, May 3, 1996. Letter to famed comedian Spike Milligan, in full: “Nice to see you the other day for a cup of tea and a slice or two of cake! The Elfin Oak Project sounds great and I think you're right that something which once gave a lot of joy to many kids should not be allowed to deteriorate. I've sent a cheque for £25,000 from Linda and myself to the Elfin Oak special bank account, which we hope will get the job done. Good luck." In very good to fine condition, with light overall creasing. The Elfin Oak is a 900-year-old tree stump in Kensington Gardens in London, carved and painted to look like elves, gnomes, and small animals live in its bark. Milligan was a longtime benefactor of the project, raising funds in the 1960s and 1990s. McCartney was among the many people who threw financial support behind the project.
