Senator Palpatine,
I have some good news for you. Anakin won the race. I've never seen anything like a pod-race before, and for awhile, I wasn't sure Anakin was going to make it, but he surprised everyone and he won. He told me later that Qui-Gon told him to use his feelings during the race. He said that it helped him. He's such a smart little boy. I know he won't be a slave forever. He'll find a way to get away from Tatooine.
We should be leaving for Coruscant very shortly, basically as soon as our ship is completely fixed. I'm sure the next time we speak will be in person on Coruscant.
