Mr. Marsden Hartley West Brooksville Maine Dear Mr. Hartley: Your generous response to our letter of request leaves us overwhelmed with gratitude, and a sense of our inadequacy to express our appreciation. Your intensely interesting letter, setting forth your devotion to Maine in a paean of acclaim, is like your paintings: strong and colorful; and we are of course delighted to find such enthusiasm for Maine. We do officially accept your lavish gift of the photographs of paintings, which you so thoughtfully labelled. 0f course a black and white photograph can only hint at the glory of an oil painting, but we are very grateful to you for the privilege of possessing these likenesses. These, together with the article in the Index, will be incorporated in a booklet, for safety and convenience in consultation. ANDROSCOGGIN will, we feel certain, justify our pleasurable anticipation; we are especially eager to read the poems after having your letter! Thank you again, very, very much, for the letter, your fine cooperation., your kind promise of an inscribed copy of ANDROSCOGGIN for the Maine Author Collection, and for the biographical and photographic material which you have already sent. Any additional material, which you suggest and care to send, will naturally be received most warmly. We are indeed rich in boasting your name as a Maine artist-author.
Very truly yours
