Mrs. Henry Beston Hingham Massachusetts
Dear Mrs. Beston:
Your lovely HOUSEBOAT SUMMER is, of course, in our traveling libraries. It is reaching boys and girls all over the state, and, we have no doubt, bringing them much joy. It is a charming book.
Because it has a Maine setting, we write to inquire whether or not the Maine Author Collection may hope to benefit by an inscribed presentation copy. We should be very happy to be privileged to include it with your other books.
We have not seen you and Mr. Beston this summer, and we can only presume sadly that you, in common with others, are feeling the transportation difficulties too keenly to come back to Maine. We shall hope for better fortune another year. Meanwhile, you have our best wishes for the success of the new book.
Very truly yours MAINE STATE LIBRARY BY
SECRETARY hmj
