~ k.~

vellt.illl copy oftl-~; 6 rant made in 1631 to Robert Trelawny and Moses lioodyear, oric..Lnal si 6 ned bJ Ferdinand and Edward Gorges and tne Earl of Warwick. The grant was for Cosco Bs.y and thenc?. nortl'1ward "i11to the Maine Land". It's giant folio, s.nd the COJJY was made in 1768. If the Maine State Library can afford to have this framed and ,mt to use, I'll J1ake it a µresent of t.r1e grant. Will you hel J me 6 et some information' ? I found, some time a 6 o, th,,,t C. A. ~teJhens titles, when Life Was Yo'..l.n 0 and the other three of tr1e Old Sau.ire I s titles, are toa.ay unobtainabl e. Huston says he has lots of calls for them, but can't t;et them. I advertised in the Publishers Wee~ly, but got no offers. So I !Jro,Josed to Dou bl ecla:/ that 1m try to get the rit>hts, and re,mblish tne four Old Squire titles u..."l.der one cover with an introciuctio n by ne. This su1:, 6 estion is still cooking. l'lhat I'd lik~ to l1ave .·oJ. find out for me is wri et:'ler t:1ere is a con tinuint; c,:: 11 for tnese books in your library, in tr·,e Bangor LibrarJ, end in other Maine librc.,ries. Sincerc~ly,
