Robinson 44 Thatcher Street Bangor, Maine Dear Miss Robinson: We have in the Maine Author Collection a delightfully inscribed copy of your book, "An­nals of a Happy Family." It has been a pleas­ure to claim you as one of our Maine authors, but upon consulting our biographical file this morning, I find that unfortuiiately we have no biographical material. This oversight on our part should be rem­edied at once, if possible. I wonder if you would be kind enough to send us some material. We would be very grateful for a photograph, if you would care to said one. We try to main­tain as complete a biographical file of our authors as possible, and we usually meet with such generosity and cooperation that this pro­ject is altogether successful. Al so, will you kindly tell us where we may obtain a copy of "Annals of a Happy Family" for our general circulation. We feel that this book would hold interest for many of our readers, and we wantto place it in the main library . We assure you of our appreciation of any kindness and assistance you may render us. Very truly yours Maine State Library Secretary MARY a ROBINSON 44 THATCHER STREET BANGOR, MAINE ••Wx i , m^>.

Robinson Mi- Thatcher Street Bangor, Maine Sear Miss Hobinson: Thank you very much for responding so promptly to our request for biographical information. You have sent exactly niiat we wished. However, one small item leads us to believe that a tiny error has crept in: your date of birth and the date of graduation from Brunswick High School are both given as IS65 1 I wonder if you would be willing to correct this. Your kinciiess in offering to secure a copy of the "Annals of a Happy Family^* for dur circulation is greatly appreciated. We enclose a label and forwarding postage. It is t >0 bad to deprive your friends of any copies - the scarcity of them proves the pop­ularity of the book I Very truly yours Maine State Library ha Secretary MARY C.

Miss Mary C.

We have suggested to a member of the staff who sees Mrs. Richards freauently that possibly Mrs. Richards would be interested to read your book. This staff member, I think, will bring the book to Mrs. Richards' attention. Again we thank you, and hope that sometime we may have the pleasure of adding another book by you to our Maine Author Collection.
