Dear Mrs. Fuller: I am sending you under separate cover a copy of "Arundel", Kenneth "qoberts' great Maine novel which we are bringing out on January 10th. In"Arundel" Mr. ~oberts has written the one 111.ntold news story of the ~evolution, Benedict Arnold's secret expedition to Quebec. The march of the indomitable halfstarved army up the Kennebec·, through the great Maine woods following the Dead !liver, carrying impossible green leaking bateaus across cruel portages, is a story rich in human drama. And the visualization of pioneer life in Maine: the inns with their rough p~nelled gathering rooms and their kegs of buttered beer, the traders, the Indians, the sloops bringing back latest news 6,foBos ton fashions, village politics, the boisterous birth of the "Cons of Liberty" Mr. 'Roberts rpakes as' triv:1..d as our contemporary life and much more fascinating. If you find the book as interesting as I venture to ba~ieve you will, we shall be very happy to have a quote from you. ,..
