Glinda,

I hope you are well. I write to inform you that I live on, in safety with Fiyero. I didn't want you grieving for me, I am not dead. You can never see me again.

You made me who I am, Glinda, and I will never forget that. Because of you, I had the strength to fight. Now you must have that strength to live on without me, and I without you.

You will always remain most dear to my heart.
