E. 8. WHITE NORTH HROOKLIN. MAINE
23 September 1946 Dear Mrs. Jacob: I don't 1i:now whether THE WILD FLAG needed to get wxitten. All I know is that it got written; and I hope you will like it. As for my being a l.1aine 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-or-tne 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. 1':Iany 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,
