Mr. Kenneth L. Roberts Kennebunkport Maine

Dear Mr. Roberts:

        We are very appreciative of your prompt and gen-

erous response to our request for copies of your books for the Maine Author Collection. We have this morning received the seven books which you are giving to the library. We thank you for them, and for taking the trouble to autograph them for us. It was very thought- ful of you to add to the interest of our copy of "The Collector's Whatnot" by obtaining for us also the autographs of your co-authors.

      Your books are a delightful and interesting addi-

tion to the Maine Author Collection. One of the charms of the completed collection will be the great variety of the books included in it, and the books which you have sent us add a distinctly new note to the collection as it is at present.

      Ever since you talked with us last fall about your

forthcoming historical novel we have been wondering about its progress, and we are delighted to hear .that it is on its way to the publishers. We are looking forward to adding·a copy of it to our collection. We shall be very glad indeed to receive the historical material which you have assembled in the preparation of this book. To be able to display with an historical novel some of the sources used by the author will make "Arundel" an item of unique interest in our collection.

                                                     Very truly yours,
