MAINE

JUL 19

Mrs. Marion Cobb Fuller Maine State Library Augusta, Maine Dear Mrs. Fuller: Professor Toynbee, as you doubtless know, holds that Maine, due to her rugged climate, is populated only by lumbermen, watermen and guides. The Saturday Evening Post suggested that I take a paste at Professor Toynbee, and I think the time is about ripe. Years ago, when !was traveling around a good deal for the Post, I'd run into State-of-Mainers in Tei.as; Arizona, California, Utah and so on. They were running banks, newspapers and steamship lines, etc. Do you know of any sources to which I could go to find out about Maine people who have ma.de their mark in other parts of the United States-and have you any suggestions that would help me show up Toynbee as the stupid ass he is? With all good wishes I am, Very sincerely yours,
