Dear Editor,

Soon I will be back again, to see once more,
The place where I belong.
To see as I did then, but now on changes, new awakenings,
Within the morning throng.

My time spent long away from public eye,
My future in the hands of they,
Those that with pleasure raise hope again,
With care, and kind thought, to make my day.

My structure now holds hope, gives heart to me,
That soon I'll stand, outside my rightful home,
There, forever grateful I will be,
To the cause that bred the spirit deep in me.

And now my new masters all agree that I am part,
And on this site will always be,
And this the greatest gift of all,
That I, raised on my track, may never fall.

PS. I would like to say, from my heart, thank you for all your donations and contributions to reinstate me.

I feel I have served all well: the bottoms that have sat upon my seats I hope have appreciated my warmth. Those of distinction, those off to the wars, those of curiosity, and of course those on holiday, I love them all.

Although I have had hard times, my paint has peeled and I have suffered the wounds of old age, I am not a bad old chap, and look forward to a revival to that of myself and this dear old town of Folkestone. As I can relate of fond great times in its heyday.

Best wishes to you all, and thank you for the new lease of life that you have given me.

Yours faithfully,

Leas Step Lift Carriage and Maxwell Dunlop
