Mr. Marsden Hartley 27 Broadway Bangor, Maine

Dear Mr. Hartley:

You have been very fortunate in securing the aid of Mr. Scribner, in your aims to reach Katahdin. We trust that the weather was favorable for your purposes, and that you will continue in good fortune upon your next trip.

Our copy of ADVENTURES IN THE ARTS was secured through a very assiduous book-hunter, who advertised for it, Mr. Charles E. Campbell, of Campbell's Book Store, 604 Congress Street, Portland, Maine. We do not know where Mr. Campbell found the copy, but it was in good condition, and as we had been waiting for it some time, we immediately purchased it. This copy, however, is being used in the lending section of the library, so the Maine Author Collection is still lacking a copy: and if you, therefore, do discover a copy anywhere that we might have for the exhibit, do please let us know.

If you are in Augusta, we hope you will come in to see us. A visit from you would afford us pleasure.

Very truly yours MAINE STATE LIBRARY BY SECRETARY hm
