Miss Margaret Wise Brown Cobble Court 1335 York Avenue New York, New York
Dear Miss Brown: We are in a state of complete bewilderment, and complete enchantment ! The enchantment is simple to explain: THE LITTLE ISLAND, with its utterly charming and individual form of inscription is a beautiful addition to the Maine Author Collection. The bewilderment only increases as we try to explain it. We read in a newspaper that the illustrator lives "close to her[underlined] scene on the coast of Maine." The illustrator is (the book says in print) Leonard Weisgard. The author, Golden MacDonald, we presume to be you. Perhaps, at your convenience, you would be so kind as to unravel a little of the puzzle for us.
Meanwhile, we are most appreciative of your generosity, and of Leonard Weisgard's. Please accept our thanks for THE LITTLE ISLAND, which we have decided should be placed beside THE POODLE AND THE SHEEP.
Sincerely yours
In Charge of Maine Author Collection
