COPY November 8, 1930

Dear Mr. Roberts;- I am sending the list of references used by Mr. Kenneth Roberts in writing Arundel, as given in the manuscript of Arundel, now at the Maine State Library. I could not add the publishers of all of the books because some of them are not in the catalog, probably because they are pamphlets or out of print. Perhaps you have them in your collection and can refer to them there. If you can't and need to know the publishers write me again a I will make further search. The items which I did not find are: "travels Through the Interior Parts of America, Thomas Abury; Life of Aaron BurrmM. L Davis; New France and New England, James Douglas(1913) Jornal of a Member of Arnold's Expedition to Quebec, Simeon Forbes; The Siege of Boston, Allen French (1911) and The Life of Aaron Burr Knapp (1835) Rale's Letters Edfiantes are crossed off your list, so I did not add them to this one. Also the History of Swan's Island. I don(t know anything about Williamson's History of Falmouth, but probably I ought to, although I haven't found it in the Bibliography of Maine. Did you use "Histoire des Abnakis", by Maurault, (L'Abbe J. A.) ImprimeAL'Atelier Typographique de la Gaxette de Sorel? Also, did you have "Arnold's March from Quebec" by E.D. Hines, published by the Essex Institute, Salem. These are not on your list. Have you happdened to see"My Story; being the Memoirs of Benedict Arnold", a semi-fictional thing by F.J. Stimson, published in 1917?It isn't in this library, and although I have seen it I haven't read it. I think that it isn't of either interest or importance. Signed. MCF
