Inscription reads: "To Miss Margaret Dunbar / with all the regard of an old friend and co-worker. Thornton / Berkeley Jan 1930." Includes two handwritten letters from Wilder, corresponding with the recipient of this copy, Miss Margaret Dunbar. One letter, dated March 24, 1969, was written to Dunbar as Wilder traveled by ship from Genoa to Curacao. Wilder describes hopes for the remainder of his career, stating "Alas, I haven't yet written that beguiling book for children that I've long dreamed of doing; and I'd like to do one more (and better) farce-comedy that would give sheer pleasure." The second letter, dated February 27, 1972, is addressed to "Mrs. Dunbar," offering condolences for the passing of the original recipient. The recipient of this copy and letters, Miss Margaret Dunbar (d. 1972), was the head of the South Berkeley Branch Library, a member of the American Association of University Women, and a member of the Berkeley Zonta Club. (Berkeley Gazette, April 1948) Dunbar and Wilder maintained a friendship first formed in childhood, as they both lived near Berkeley, CA.
