First printing of this Oz story that finds Ozma the Wizard and other rulers whisked away by a suspicious man and a magical horse.

1850106841<p>Autograph Letter Signed with initials. blue paper folded folio sheet 4 pp. stampless address leaf. Small hole from seal-opening with loss of a few words some creasing postmark on back sheet remnant of wax seal on back page; otherwise very good. This autograph letter in a highly legible hand is to her younger sister Harriet E. Cossitt Claremont in New Hampshire.</p><p>Christmas "is not observed here in the same manner that it is there no churches holding religious services on that day. I attended the celebration of the Sons of Temperance on Christmas day… Christmas week is considered as 'the holidays of the year' for white and black. No work is the order for all servants but house servants and they have their parties suppers and their candy boilings and pullings as they say for I do not attend such sweet places. It would amuse you to see their smiling ebony faces bowing and grinning as they claim their Christmas gifts and 'yes massa' or 'please missa' may I do this or that having more privileges than many poor intelligent whites."These words were uncharacteristic of other New England observers of the antebellum South who were appalled by slavery and expressed only sympathy for the enslaved even if some noted that many poor whites both North and South also lived a meager existence in contrast with so-called "privileged" Negroes. Emily Cossitt 1813-1897 was a 37-year-old unmarried woman from a wealthy New Hampshire family her father being President of the local bank. Her uncle whom she was visiting was a Presbyterian Minister and religious matters were one of her principal interests much of this letter concerning a local dispute between a Baptist and a Methodist clergyman. She was well-educated – she opens the letter with a flowery poem – and perhaps something of a snob. Neither she nor her two sisters would ever marry. This may explain her disdain for her uncle's slaves perhaps less racism than simple arrogance. Despite a racist tone the letter has good content concerning African Americans in pre–Civil War America.</p>
1972141249N.p.: Media Cinema Group 1972. Revised Draft script for the 1973 film. Here under the working title "Are You a Good Boy"<br /> <br /> In his review of the Dark Sky Films DVD release of the film critic Glenn Erickson notes "The Killing Kind is one of the better films from Curtis Harrington the California-grown avant-garde filmmaker who became a maker of horror films starting with the Val Lewton-inspired "Night Tide" in 1961." After spending considerable time as a regular at the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris Harrington wrote some of the first critical analyses of the horror film. <br /> <br /> Much of Harrington's work mixed show-biz with Psycho-like pathology; this film's mad killer has deep Freudian scars an unhealthy relationship with his mother and a bad habit of disassociating himself from his heinous acts. Harrington uses interesting veteran performers and picks some excellent newcomers-both John Savage and Cindy Williams would become stars."<br /> <br /> Young Terry Lambert is forced to participate in a gang rape and spends two rough years in prison emerging with a destroyed mind. He returns home to live in his mother's boarding house. Upon the simple mention of his mother's annoyance with the woman Terry raped Terry decides to murder her as well as a lawyer who has failed to get him a reduced sentence. <br /> <br /> Shot on location in California. <br /> <br /> Blue titled wrappers noted as Revision on the front wrapper dated October 6 1972 114 leaves with last page of text numbered 114.
