Mr. Bernard H. Porter
Acheson Colloids Corp.
Newark, New Jersey
Dear Mr. Porter:
Notice of the publication of two technical
items, your WATERFIGHT and DOLDRUMS, has reached
us. This is particularly interesting, quite
apart from their undoubted value in their rather
specialized field, because of the Maine Author
Collection.
The collection includes approximately a
thousand volumes at present -- inscribed, presentation copies -- written by Maine people. Some
were born in Maine; others, like Laura E. Richards
and Ben Ames Williams, were fladopted." We always
gather all available information, biographical,
critical and photographic, on our authors; and
correspondence is preserved.
As you can readily comprehend, this project
is one of lasting value, the scope and fascination
of which increase constantly.
We hope that you may want to inscribe your
new items and present them for inclusion in this
exhibit. We should be pleased to welcome them,
and we send you our best wishes for their success.

Very truly yours
MAINE STATE LIBRARY
