Mrs. Henry Beston Chimney Farm Nobleboro, Maine
Dear Elizabeth Coatsworth:
What an auspicious beginning to a month--to find in the mail another of your lovely books!
COUNTRY NEIGHBORHOOD is all that we anticipated, and perhaps a bit more, as we re-acquaint ourselves with the friendly humor and gentle wisdom that is yours.
It is a charming book, and a delightful inscription, for which we thank you. It is a book to read with mirth and reflection, to re-read and treasure, a compliment to the people and life it describes.
We send you appreciative thanks for your generous gift to the Maine Author Collection, and we cheer COUNTRY NEIGHBORHOOD on its way.
Sincerely yours
hmj Secretary Encl.--4¢ postal refund
