March 25, 1942

Miss Margaret Wise Brown 21 West 10 Street New York, New York

Dear Miss Brown:

It was in September that you graciously promised an inscribed copy of THE POODLE AND THE SHEEP to the Maine Author Collection. We know that your days must be full of activity, and we know that we shouldn't be insistent -- especially in asking for a gift!

But the Poodle himself is so charming, so completely captivating, and we see him every once in a while, because he is in a number of our traveling libraries. Each time we see the book, we are reminded that it will be a delightful addition to the exhibit; and so we are writing to tell you just that.

Very truly yours
