Mr. Kenneth Roberts Kennebunk Beach Maine
Dear Mr. Roberts:
Specific congratulations upon each of your books now piling up enviable sales and review records would require too much space. May we send you very sincere congratulations on them all? Each new book of yours is a literary milestone for Maine, and in fact, for the book world in general.
We added the limited edition of TRENDING INTO MAINE, immediately upon publication, for at the time such an edition was published for NORTHWEST PASSAGE, you told us that it would not be presented to the Maine Author Collection. We wonder about MARCH TO QUEBEC? Shall we expect an inscribed presentation copy for the collection?
A copy was ordered at once for the lending section of the library, and of course it is already out, and patrons are waiting in a long list, to read it! Each new book of yours seems more popular than former volumes, but we notice, with complacent pride, that the early ones go right on selling!
You have our best wishes and fervent thanks for being a Maine author.
Very truly yours
MAINE STATE LIBRARY BY SECRETARY hm
