April eighth, Nineteen twenty.

My dear Mrs. Riggs:

The package containing materials for a brief sketch of your life and work, has been received at the Library, It was very kind of you to take so much trouble in bringing together this material, and I wish to assure you of my deep appreciation.

I am very anxious to have a complete set of your books in the library, if possible in the same bindings. Would it be too much to ask you to send me a complete set of the best bindings and would you kindly write your autographs in each one? Of course you understand that I will send a check by return mail for the books. I would send it in this letter, if I had any idea of their price.

My purpose in asking you to select and send the books, is that I may have the right set in the library. It may interest you to know that I am trying to secure a complete set of the works of all Maine authors. I am

Sincerely yours,

Mrs. George C. Riggs, 145 W. 58th Street., New York City.
