Dear Mrs. Fuller:

I am sending you under separate cover a copy of "Arundel", Kenneth Roberts' great Maine novel which we are bringing out on January 10th. 'Arundel" Mr. Roberts has written the on un- told news story of the Revolution, Benedict Arnold's secret expedition to Quebec. The march of the indomitable half- starved army up the Kennebec, throught the great Maine woods following the Dead River, carrying impossible green leaking bateaus across cruel portages, is a story rich in human drama. And the visualization of pioneer life in Maine: the inns with their rough panelled gathering rooms and their kegs of buttered beer, the traders, the Indians, the sloops bringing back lat- est news of Boston fashions, village politics, the boisterous birth of the "Cons of Liberty" Mr. Roberts makes as vivid as our contemporary life and much more fascinating.

If you find the book as interesting as I venture to believe you will, we shall be very happy to have a quote from you.

Cordially
