The volume is not for sale, having been printed entirely as a matter of private record and friendship; but he is delighted that you would like a second copy, for general use in the State Library, and sent the Library the second copy as a gift. With all good wishes, Sincerely yours, November 5, 1941 Miss Rosalind Richards 3 Dennis Street Gardiner, Maine Dear Miss Richards: The generosity of your father in presenting two copies of his delightful book, NINETY YEARS ON, is very much appreciated.
