Mr. Kenneth Roberts, Kennebunkport, Maine Dear Mr. Roberts;How generous of you and your publishers to offer to make available in some of our schools copies of THE MARCH TO QUEBEC!

I am frequently amazed by what

teachers accomplish with what seems to me utterly inadequate tools, or no tools at all, and I am delighted to have a small part in helping some of them acquire a reference tool such as a book like yours.

ARUNDEL has amazingly stimulated an

interest in what was an almost forgotten episode in our

-

early history and I know that boys and girls who read ARUNDEL and teachers who teach Maine history will welcome such an authentic and interesting source book as THE MARCH TO QUEBEC. I have begun to list some of the schools to which I think the book might well be sent but before completing the list I should like to talk with Mr. Lyseth, of the Department of Education who knows the needs and facilities of the high school libraries better than anyone does.

He is away at present and

will not be back until the last of the month.

If you wish the

list immediately, please send me a postal card and I w:111
