Dr. Bern Porter 106 High Street Belfast, Maine Dear Dr. Porter: Thank you for the clipping, which.we are most happy to have.

I wish we might give you the answer both you and we want, about the temporarily misplaced glossary. Your letter has been held a few days, hoping that we could meke·a real search for it, but we are regretfully forced to admit that we just can't do it yet. We have had a rugged winter, with many staff absences because of illness and serious hospitalization, and are still limping along, having to postpone attention to some duties. Several of us know about the matter, and are keeping it in mind, in case it shows up in an unlikely spot before we can get to the collection and give it the time it must have to bring proper order to its shelves again. Sincerely yours
