Marty Lacker sent the Colonel a telegram to announce in cryptic fashion that the "ponies" have arrived home safely.

While Elvis had been away, construction had begun on the Meditation Garden located just beyond the swimming pool. It

has been designed with the Self-Realisation Park in Pacific Palisades in mind, with stained-glass panels, Italian marble

statues, and a fountain with fourteen different sprays and underwater light formations designed and commissioned by Marty Lacker's sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Bernie Grenadier. Work would not be fully completed on the Garden until the end of the year, at a cost of $21,000.
