Mr. Kenneth Lewis Roberts, Kennebunk Beach, Maine Dear Mr. Roberts;-
Maine libraries do not seem to go in very heavily for Maine cook-books. I am beginning to be confirmed in my original opinion that there were no very early ones printed.
I have borrowed from various personal sources half a dozen or so cook-books, none very old, and, so far as I can tell by a hasty examination of them, not at all unusual. However, as they are from various towns, Thomaston, Rockland, Lincolnville Beach, Machias, etc. you might like to see them. I am writing to Warren and to Wiscasset where, I understand, a Democratic Women of Maine Cook-Book may be located. Bangor Public Library had nothing to offer, except the Dorcas Cook-Book, which I mentioned in my preceding letter, and which you probably have acquired. If not I can borrow it from Bangor.
The Federal Writers Project compiled a list of cook-books as part of their project and the Director has promised to send me a copy of it as soon as it can be copied. I'll write you again as soon as it arrives.
I will send the books I have assembled the first of the week unless I hear from you that you think they are not worth your bothering with.
Very truly yours, MAINE STATE LlBRARY
