Mrs. F.W. Jacobs October 1, 1945 -2-

The book you speak of "The Spangle of Existence" is among the manuscripts in the trunk and was submitted to a publisher, but rejected at the time. I hope that it may be published in the not too distant future.

A book of poetry written by my uncle is to come off the press this month. It is titled "Selected Poems" and is a collection of his best work. It was edited by Dr. Wells of Columbia University. As soon as I obtain some copies of the book I will be happy to present a copy of it to the Maine State Library in my uncle's name.

Thankyou very much for your prompt reply to my letter and request for the copies of my uncle's letters to you. They afford me more evidence than I had expected. Not only of his intentions concerning the Library but also Bates College and the Lewiston Library.

I am more than grateful for this information.

Sincerely yours,

(Signature) (Miss) Norma Berger

P.S. If you or any representative of your Library would be interested in seeing the manuscripts or in talking over plans for the paintings I should be very happy to receive you here in Boston. I had hoped to get up to Maine this summer but was not able to manage it. N.B.
