September 20, 1946
Mr. E. B. White North Brooklin Maine Dear Mr. White: Congratulations on THE WILD FLAG, to which we look forward with unusually keen anticipation, and which, from its advance notices, certainly sounds~ like the sort of book which needed to be written. ONE MAN' s MEAT is in the Maine Author Collection. You will recall inscribing it charmingly and presenting it to this permanent exhibit. We have refrained from burdening you with additional requests, believing that perhaps we should mention this collection only when books undeniably Maine in background should appear.
A letter from Mrs. White to Miss Stuart, however, stoutly denied the tag "summer resident", and gave us courage ! Perhaps you, too, are not averse to complete adoption? Nothing would give us greater pleasure than to adopt both you and Mrs. White and claim you as Maine authors.
It you share our enthusiam for the idea, we hope you will want to inscribe a copy of THE WILD FLAG for the collection. We wish the classic, STUART LITTLE, were of Maine (though of course that's where he was heading, when be drove north !); but we console ourselves that the book is in our traveling libraries as well as a number of personal libraries which members of this staff took care of last Christmas ! May Stuart go on forever. He very likely will.
And all good wishes to THE WILD FLAG. Sincerely yours,
hmj
In Charge of Maine Author Collection
