October 28, 1941

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 "adopted." 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 BY
