Mrs. Henry Beston Chimney Farm Nobleboro, Maine
Dear Mrs. Beston:
The inscribed copy of HOUSE-BOAT SUMMER for the Maine Author Collection has reached us, and we are delighted to add this book to the exhibit.
Miss Stuart, in recalling pleasant visits at Chimney Farm, says that the end papers depict your own kitchen! Indeed, it is a friendly one. She and Mrs. Fuller send their good wishes, and we all rejoice that you are able to be in Maine.
Thank you very much for your generosity in presenting HOUSE-BOAT SUMMER to the collection; its refreshing personality wins immediate friends, and we are glad to place it beside your other books.
Very truly yours MAINE STATE LIBRARY
