Miss Norma G. Berger 320 Tappan Street Brookline, Massachusetts
Dear Miss Berger:
It is certainly kind of you to remember us, and to offer the Marsden Hartley items. We are grateful.
We are, also, chagrined: we shall have to ask the nature of the proposed gifts for reasons of space. Sometimes we are offered, for instance, swords and.bedspreads, china mugs and whale oil lamps -- interesting and valuable, but needing proper display and storage facilities.
It would be an injustice were we to accept something for which we could not properly care. Books, some papers, paintings -- such as these we could probably handle suitably.
Do you understand? And would you be willing to give us an idea of the nature of the gifts? We do so very much hope that we can have them.
Recent visitors to the Maine Author Collection were Mary Wyman and Abbie Huston Evans. Miss Evans immediately asked for Mr. Hartley's poems, and was most interesting in discussing her conversations with him.
Sincerely yours
In Charge of Maine Author Collection
