Mr. George B. Dorr, Superintendent Acadia National Park Bar Harbor, Maine

Dear Mr. Dorr:

It was with great pleasure that we recently learned of the publication of your book, ACADIA NATIONAL PARK, ITS ORIGIN AND BACKGROUND; and we have hoped that we might examine a copy, but, having been unable to ascertain the publisher, we now write to inquire whether or not this is a government publication. We want to purchase a copy for the library files, for such an item will be extremely valuable to us.

It is also possible that you may wish to inscribe and present a copy to the Maine Author Collection. Perhaps you already know of this exhibit of the works of people born in Maine, resident here, or writing about the state. The books are inscribed interestingly and originally, presented to the library for exhibit purposes only, and form an unusual representation of Maine writing. We should be happy to include a copy of your book, and trust that it will be possible.

You have our best wishes for the success of the volume. We hope it may reach the many people who will undoubtedly be interested in the account of your fascinating work and notable achievement at Acadia National Park.

Very truly yours MAINE STATE LIBRARY BY

SECRETARY hmj Encl--1
