Mr. Leonard Weisgard c/o Doubleday Company 14 West 49th Street New York 20, New York
Dear Mr. Weisgard:
When we first saw the beautiful and captivating book, THE LITTLE ISLAND, we exclaimed, "That must be Maine !" Shortly, we discovered that it is indeed our coast, which of course pleases us, since we are particularly interested in any book about the state.
THE LITTLE ISLAND was ordered, received, and is now going out all over the state in our traveling libraries. The Maine Author Collection, however, seems to us a place where this charming book should be. This collection is made up of inscribed presentation copies of Maine books, and includes about fifteen hundred volumes at present. The inscriptions are autobiographical, humorous, poetic, even artistic sometimes, and we treasure the added distinction. The collection is for permanent reference purposes, and excites the admiration and serious interest of visitors and students.
It is always a pleasure to welcome a new Maine author, and a new book to this exhibit; and we hope that you will want THE LITTLE ISLAND to be in the collection. Our good wishes go to you for the success of the book.
Sincerely yours
In Charge of Maine Author Collection
