Dear Mr. Baum: Our Daddy when in America early this year was told of your wonderful Oz stores. He brought back with him six books, and every Wednesday night he reads to us all for an hour before we to bed. We have Ozma of Oz, The Lost Princess of Oz, The Emerald City of Oz, Rinkitink in Oz, The Tin Woodman of Oz, and The Patchwork Girl of Oz.
We love your stories so much thta we are very sorry our Daddy did not bring with him all the Oz books you have written.
We want you to have sent to us all the others, whose titles are—The Road to Oz, Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz, The Land oz Oz, The Scarecrow of Oz, Tik-Tok of Oz, and The Magic of Oz. Also any other Oz books you have written.
Our Daddy is writing this letter for but our names are—
Betty Allen. Aged 9 1/2.
Margery Allen. Aged 8.
Dorothy Allen. Aged 6.
Billy Allen. Aged 4.
We have a little brother named Johnny Allen aged 10 months, but he is too young yet to understand your stories. We are enclosing a photograph of us all.
Enclosed please find Money Order for £2-1O-O which we hope will be enough to pay for the books and the postage. Our Daddy suggests that if not enough to please send the books and we will forward the balance by post.
We hope you write a lot more Oz stories. Last Wednesday
