B.H.PORTER 3326 INDIA STREET SAN DIEGO 1 CALIFORNIA July 30,1956 Maine State Library Augusta,Maine Attenton:Mrs F.W.Jacob Maine Author Collection Gentlemen Since receiving your kind letter and list of June 1 I have started to assemble assorted materials in an attempt to bring my collection up to date. It appears the process will be a lengthy one and that the works will have to come in sections spread over several months. The first batch of eight items is cited in the attached with brief notes and the items will be further identified at the time of shipment. It will be extremely helpful if you can the way clear to make a contribution toward the costs,handling and postage in the amount of seven dollars and fifty cents. The four items which have a retail value total $22.50. The other items just cannot be purchased for money. Kindly note my new address. Sincerely yours, Bern Porter [handwritten] Bernard Harden Porter
