Miss Margaret Wise Brown c/o E. P. Dutton and Company 300 Fourth Avenue New York, New York
Dear Miss Brown:
Recently we discovered that Black Poodle of THE POODLE AND THE SHEEP is a summer resident of Vinal Haven. Because we are interested in such charming and lively summer guests, we are especially pleased to learn of your book.
We have been unable to ascertain whether or not you were born in Maine, but we write regarding the Maine Author Collection, which is an exhibit of inscribed, presentation copies of books written by authors born in Maine, resident here, or who have used the state as subject or setting.
We hope that it will be possible to claim you as a Maine author, either by birth or through adoption. Among the first are, you undoubtedly know, Kenneth Roberts, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Anne Carroll Moore, and Robert P. Tristram Coffin, to mention a few; and among our adopted authors are such distinctive names as Laura E. Richards, Ben Ames Williams, Louise Lamprey and Raebel Field. The inclusion of THE POODLE AND THE SHEEP in the Maine Author Collection, inscribed for this purpose, would be a happy one, and your generosity would be deeply appreciated.
You have meanwhile our very best wishes for the success of your book, and a cordial invitation to visit the library and the Collection when you are in Augusta.
Very truly yours
