Dear Miss Stuart:
Many thanks for your letter of the 11th, and its highly appreciated sentiments. Whenever the State Library is in a position--and has the desire--to display one of my manuscripts along with the source-books and other detritus that goes into the making of a book, I think matters can be quickly arranged. My feeling has always been that such a display is of some value to prospective writers, whereas a manuscript alone is only another item in a library's possessions.
Please give my best regards to Mrs. Fuller and Mr. Dunnack. I greatly appreciate the excellent care which the Maine State Library took of the Arundel manuscript; and nothing would have led me to remove it to M.I.T. except the knowledge that it and its accompanying source material would be in constant use in the teaching of both English and history to large numbers of undergraduates.
With all good wishes I am,
Very sincerely, Kenneth Roberts [signature]
