Dear Missy,

As you know, my husband, Mr. Piggle-Wiggle, was called away some years ago by the pirates. After waiting so long for him to return, I have decided to take matters into my own hands and find out what happened to him. I’ll be leaving tomorrow. While I’m gone, could you stay at the farm and live in the upside-down house? I’m sorry to ask you to leave your home and your work, but I need you. Harold Spectacle will take care of the animals until you arrive in Little Spring Valley.

I’m sure you remember what to do for Wag, Lightfoot, Lester, and the others. Everything at the upside-down house is just as it was the last time you were here.

I apologize for the haste with which I’m making these preparations. Some things can’t be helped.

Please come as quickly as you can.

Sending you love,

Auntie
