Dear Mrs. Jacob:

It was a real pleasure to have your letter. I feel like the Housemother of an Orphanage, trying to find homes for my orphans, and when I do, it makes me happy! I had not thought of the possibility of your sending them out to smaller libraries for exhibition. That is splendid — for it keeps them working!

I am glad, too, to know about the Bangor Library. There are plenty to share with them — I shall write at once.

I am getting yours ready and they will be mailed within a day or two. Please don't be shocked by the soiled margins. Printers have a proverbial weakness for soiling pictures, and it's always a shock to see the finger-prints, stains, tobacco juice(?) etc.
