Mr. Marsden Hartley Corea Maine Dear Mr. Hartley: Your generosity overwhelms us l Delighted as we are to accept the gift of PORT OE' NEW YORK., we are almost as pleased for the Farmington library. We are sending on to'tbem a copy., and enclosing a copy of our letter to them. Thank you very., very much indeed. Your letter holds interesting news., too., and we shall hope for a call from you in December., as you suggest. Is THE SPANGLE OF EXISTENCE published yet? We try not to miss suoh· important items.,· and i.f this book has escaped our attention., we shall have to plead human fallibility. Of course we intend to order it for the lending section, as we do all non-fiction books by Maine authors; and we shall hope for your continuing graciousness in the matter of the Maine Author Collection. Our best wishes for your visit to the Atlantic Monthly Press. Very truly yours MAINE STATE LIBRARY BY hmj Encls.
