E. B. WHITE
NORTH BROOKLIN, MAINE
23 September 1946
Dear Mrs. Jacob:
I don't know whether THE
WILD FLAG needed to get written. All I know is that it got written; and I hope you will like it.
As for my being a Maine
author, I don't know what you would call me. There is nothing Maine about the background of THE WILD FLAG, which has for its background (and foreground) the whole round earth, of which Maine is undeniably a part. Most of the book was written here in Maine. I shall be glad to inscribe a copy for you if you want to include it in the collection.
Many thanks for your very
kind letter and for what you said about Stuart Little. You are quite right that he was headed toward Maine when last seen.
Sincerely,
EB White
