KENNETH ROBERTS KENNEBUNKPORT MAINE

August 27, 1946

Mrs. F. W. Jacob Maine State Library Augusta, Maine

Dear Mrs. Jacob:

The demands on me for books have become so extremely large that in self-defense I have been forced to make a sweeping rule that I can't give them away. The final blow came when I learned that the cost of giving away copies of my books in 1944 amounted to $2,300.00. Consequently the clamps are now on, no matter who asks.

I enclose an autographed bookplate which you might care to stick in a copy of the Roberts' Reader [title underlined].

Sincerely, Kenneth Roberts [signature] KR:MM Enc �
