KENNETH L. ROBERTS KENNEBUNK BEACH MAINE

November 6th.

Dear Mrs. Fuller: Francis Parkman, in his Half[underlined] Century[underlined] of[underlined] Conflict[underlined], made use of Bourne's[?][double underlined] History[underlined] of[underlined] Wells[underlined] &[underlined] Kennebunk[underlined], and of Charles[underlined] Bradbury's[underlined] History[underlined] of[underlined] Kennebunkport[underlined]. The latter was published in 1837 and is now quite valuable. I assume that you have it. Today I an across a long letter from Bradbury to the governor of Maine in 1842, crabbing violently over his low financial state and the contemptibleness of a job that had been offered him by the state. It occurs to me that this letter is one that might be very interesting in your author's room when you get it, displayed with a copy of Bradbury's history. if you agree with me, I will have the letter donated to the state library by it's present owner - if the library will agee to frame & hang it. Sincerely

Kenneth L. Roberts. �
