(COPY) November 7, 1929.
Mr. Kenneth L. Roberts, Kennebunk Beach, Maine.
My dear Mr. Roberts;-
The Bradbury letter sounds very interesting. If you can persuade the owner to give it to us we shall be very grateful to you and to him ( or her). We will have it framed, and when we have room to hang it will do so. Until then, we will keep it very carefully in the safe.
I thlnk it is possible that the "state Job"referred to in the letter is making a transcription of the early court records and other important documents pertaining to the early history of Maine, the originals of which are in the York County Court House. A copy was made for the state, "On appropriations of $100, $200., and $100. by the Legislatures' of 1843, 1844 and 1845, to be expended by the Governer and Council, and they appointed Charles Bradbury their agent". This copy is in the archives of the Maine State Library. It is tn four volumes but they are not all in the same handwriting so perhaps Mr. Bradbury definitely struck before the job was ended. Last year the first volume of these records was published by the Maine Historical Society. A number of years ag9, Mr. James Phinney Baxter had a,·,oppy of them made. Otherwise, there are only the original documents and the copyowned by the state.
Thank you very much for your interest in our collection. If ever we have a real place to display our treasures we shall, I think, have a very worthwhile exhibit. Very truly yours, ~ i S.""~ ~ l'vl,-C,· ,=.-
