April 12, 1954 Mrs. Henry Beston Chimney Farm Nobleboro, Maine Dear Elizabeth Coatsworth: Would that we could be of service to you, but the rules say no fiction, no juveniles. These are included in traveling libraries, and are carried on the bookmobile; but the individual loan section does not have them, so we cannot send you the Kelly book. Very likely the Bangor library would lend it to you. I don't seem to be in luck lately, do I, when the Bestons call? By the way, we noticed that we might expect a book about a Maine lighthouse from you sometime soon. That is good news, whether it's a story for young people or their elders. Sincerely yours In Charge of Maine Author Collection hmj
