November 29, 1949 Mrs. Henry Beston Chimney Farm Nobleboro, Maine

Dear Elizabeth Coatsworth:

THE LITTLE HAYMAKERS has arrived (the grammar sounds defective, doesn't it?), and again we are enchanged with your ability to take a bit of quite homely everyday life and mold it into a special adventure. This is a lovely book, and will surely be popular with all kinds of children, but particularly, it seems to us, to those who may know something of oxen and see a little of themselves reflected in these pages.

Thank you so much for sending a copy for the Maine Author Collection.

Sincerely youre
