Mr. E. B. White North Brooklin Maine

Dear Mr. White:

    The inscribed copy of ONE MAN'S MEAT has

been received, and we are of course charmed with the inscription. We re-read Once More to the Lake" with added appreciation -- some of us live by lakes, and most of us know at least one fresh-water lake -- and we can see why you had to come back to Maine.

    You have accomplished a fine piece of

work in snaring the humor and integrity and beauty of the world around you and putting it into the kind of words that carry a reader along from the first page to the last with no abatement of interest.

    Your generosity in making it possible to

include ONE MAN'S MEAT in the Maine Author Collection is deeply appreciated; we send you our thanks, and also a cordial invitation to visit us should you happen to be in Augusta between "famine" seasons.

                                                  Very truly yours
                                                   MAINE STATE LIBRARY
