Hilda McLeod Jacob Maine State Library Augusta, Maine Dear Miss McLeod: In answer to your letter of November 3rd I can only say that I have not forgotten our correspondence in regard to the paintings which my Uncle, Marsden Hartley, planned to give to the Maine State Library but as the estate is still unsettled I can give you no definite statement as to whether things will work out that way. Since

my

main purpose in obtaining legal

counsel was to protect the estate from being disposed of without regard to my un<?le's wishes, you may be sure that I will make every effort to have the paintings placed in the Maine State Library and am still hopeful that something may be done toward that .~nd·. Elincerely yours.,

>I~~
