Dear Mrs. Jacobs,
I would be most honored to be claimed as a Maine author by adoption. Although born in New York, I have spent most of my summers in Maine at Swans Island, North Haven, and Vinal Haven and other parts of Maine. The scene for "The Poodle and the Sheep" was Hurricane Island. Since my summers are the best part of my writing time I feel greatly indebted to the kelp [?] and the good Maine air and intend if possible to spend all my summers there. So I would be delighted to send you an inscribed copy of "The Poodle and The Sheep."
Sincerely, Margaret Wise Brown
