Mr. Henry Beston Chimney Farm Nobleboro, Maine
Dear Mr. Beston:
One of the afflictions of this season was that I had to be out of town the day you were in Augusta! Both Mrs. Stubbs and I very much wanted to call at the Corner Music and Book Store, but that pleasure was denied us. We hope that Augusta, which is probably as un-literary a community-as Maine boasts, realized the privilege and took advantage of it.
NORTHERN FARM is all that we anticipated. It is charming and wise and delightful and honest: the sort of book we expect and always have from you.
The library orders were placed some time ago, and the books are now in active circulation. We hope that you may want to inscribe and present a copy to the Maine Author ·Collection. It would go proudly beside your other Maine book, HERBS AND THE EARTH.
Our very good wishes go to you and the new book, and also our profound regret that we could not see you when you were in Augusta.
Sincerely·yours
In Charge of Maine Author Collection
