WHC 2017.18.14Scope and Content
A letter and envelope from Ada Bampton Tremaine to the Trustees of the Camden Public Library, regarding a donation. The letter is undated and the postmark is illegible, but Tremaine had a cottage in Rockport from about 1906 or 1907, and her post office box in Rockland is listed in directories during the 1920's. She died in Rockport in 1928.
The stationery lists Alderbrook Farm, Rockport, Maine, but "Rockport" has been crossed out on the letterhead and on the envelope. On the envelope it is replaced with the post office box in Rockland.
