L. Frank Baum | The Wonderful Wizard Of Oz | 1900

Dear Dorothy,

Auntie Em wrote and said you were recovering from the concussion and could have visitors soon. Hope you are feeling lots better.

I can't wait to see you. I had the strangest dream the other night during the storm -- and you were in it! You had on the cutest red shoes. I'm going to look in the Sears catalog and see if I can find some like them.

Hope to see you next month if not before. Things very dull and dry in Wichita since the drought. Tumbleweeds everywhere. Better than twisters, though.

Hugs to you and Toto.

Love,
Nancy Pate

P.S. Have you ever heard of flying monkeys?
