Editor,

I remember His Majesty from when I visited Tonga years ago and I remember a man with grace and a smile.

I'm sad to read in Matangi Tonga today that he is gravely ill in Auckland. I'm not of Tongan origin but my heart goes out to His Majesty and I will pray for him



Respectfully yours

Peggy Matheson
