I engaged in a bit of serious meditation and concentration over the last 2 days, placing all my thoughts upon a picture of your friend and mine, Pat Patterson, aka "Spaw", and projecting massive healing visualizations into his auric field. I have found this to be quite efficacious.

My feeling is that he is going to make a speedy recovery. If not, I am still willing to make the ultimate gesture and visit personally at his bedside...even if it means cancelling my barbecue.

Keep me informed. I stand ready, aye ready, on the bridge...as it were...ready to take action at a moment's notice.

Your friend and captain,

William Shatner
