[Oe List ...] A New Book

[Sarah Buss]

Priscilla,
What a wonderful read!  I thoroughly enjoyed it and was so impressed  
with  your research.  I intend to pass the word to West Texas High  
School friends, one of whom ranches near Pampa.

Thanks so much.  I eagerly await your next book.

Love and kindness,
Sarah
