[Letter, 1977 Dec. 1 : to Mrs. David Schimmels].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/236165142

This letter is a response to a complaint about an episode of "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood" that featured Margaret Hamilton. She appeared on the television program to show that she is really not the Wicked Witch; her character in the movie "Wizard of Oz" is just pretend. Mrs. David Schimmels, a viewer, thought that Fred Rogers was promoting satanic worship and witchcraft.
