The reason we wrote to her was because we understood, the poets included in MAINE AND VERMONT POETS were living, and thought this poet might possibly be a daughter, le would be indeed grateful if you could send us copies of your mother's books, oar even one. Your interest is deeply appreciated, and we hope some­day you will publish a volume of your collected verse. Very truly yours Maine State Libra Secretary 4 O'iQjUrvx LX) Q,IL_ Oefv^^'3, If31 W.
