Mr. Henry Beston: Box 385 Hingham, Mass.
Dear Mr. Beston:
May we extend congratulations upon your latest book, HERBS AND THE EARTH. It is a splendid book, and exceptionally interesting to us because it is Maine.
Some years ago we started a Maine Author Collection, to include the works of contemporary Maine writers. Due to the cooperation and generosity of our authors, this collection has expanded rapidly, and now numbers several hundred inscribed volumes.
There have been several writers, not born in Maine, but who have lived here and who have written about Maine, whom we have included: Laura E. Richards, Gladys Hasty Carroll, Louise Lamprey. and others.
We feel that you should be represented here, and we wonder if you would not like to inscribe a copy of HERBS AND THE EARTH for our Maine Author Collection.
We assure you we would very much appreciate this kindness, and we enclose a return label and postage for your convenience.
Very truly yours Maine State Library
