LIVIDONIA PORTO SANTO STEFANO (GROSSETO)

May 21st, 1930.

My dear Mrs. Fuller:-

Thank you very much indeed for your letter and for the very comprehensive and gratifying article from the Main Library Bulletin. I was very much troubled and pleased by d I appreciate the care and time that was put on it. An author would be fortunate indeed if he could have reviews as well done in the New York book review sections. And I am more pleased to have it in your bulletin now that in January----much more. The ten- dency will be to hold up the interest a little longer.

Except for the last two chapters, THE LIVELY LADY is fin- ished. It's a good book----better in some ways, I think, than ARUNDEL; but it's going to need more revision. Three weeks ago I was obliged to drop it and go on a hurried trip through France, England and Germany to get three stories for the POST; and not I must write them. When I have finished them, I shall hope to have catch a boat from Naples, which should get me back to Maine late in June. THE LIVELY LADY moves more quickly than ARUNDEL, and the privateering and the Dartmoor sections make for very exciting xxxx[mistake] movement, though they have been very much harder to write. Gerneral Dawes has a permit for me to get into Dartmoor when I reached London; and I made a trip to Plymouth and then went over the moor, which is one of the meanest sections of country that I have ever seen----and particularly interresting to me in view of the thousands of forgotten Americans who spent such a long time there in 1813, 1814 and 1815. I was also fortunate in being able to spend some time with the director of the Marine Museum of the Louvre in Paris; and as a re- sult I have uncovered som xxxxxx [mistake] most interesting xxxxxxxxxxx[mistake] and thrilling details connected with New England privateering in the War of 1812.

I am very grateful for what you say about ARUNDEL. Persis-
