Preservation of Dorr's Papers the Samuel G. Ward to Mary G. W. Dorr 1608 K Street, Wash. D. C. 19 Nov 199 My dear Mary: Though you cling so to Bar Harbor in the autumn I suppose by this time you may be settled in Commonwealth Ave ? & well I trust ? Anna & I go on quietly, better I think, than a year ago. In arranging my papers Ec notes it occurs to me that I always meant to have a copy of Grandfather Ward's little memoir. I believe you have it, & if you would send it to me, registered, I would have typewritten copy made & return you the original. I believe there is a copy but I forget who has it.. Was our first American ancestor Miles or Joshua ? Miss Angier is improving in her work with a new Fourty lens If you like to send me any pictures as suggested some time since, they will be copied &c returned as soon as the requisite sunshine is secured to do them. When you see Mrs Whitman, pray say to her that the smallest sketch from her hand in remembrance would be most gratefully received. My kind regards to George. Anna sends love to you both. Affectionately Sam'l G. W. Samuel G. Ward to Mary G. W. Dorr 1608 K. St. N. W. Dec'r 3d, 199 My dear Mary: good My best thanks for your two -notes and for the box of pictures just arrived, but not yet opened, and for the manuscript which I shall receive tomorrow no doubt. The copy you send would answer all my purposes for making a typewritten one, but what you say about the original in Book form "with a good many other family papers" makes me curious to see that also as I may find other things of inter- est I may wish to have copied to add to my own collections of memoranda. Don't fail to have anything you send register- ed. I enclose herewith several of Miss Angier's late photographs which we think are an advance on the earlier ones. They are mounted on pages like the book I sent you so you can add them to the book by simply untying the string. I 3 also send a little volume of Emerson's tales which I thought of too much interest not to be published. I said nothing about it at the time of publication to anyone, so that it's connection with me might not get into the newspapers & re- porters be calling on me for my photo and a short account of my life ! But of course it is an open secret. Anna sends you best love. Except that her hands are nearly helpless from gout, & that she cannot lie comfortably at night but has to half sit up in bed & not turn over, her Samuel G. Ward to Mary G. W. Dorr -2- Dec'r 3, 199 condition is better than a year ago. She sits up reading much of the day by the window. I am also for the moment in better ease than usual, but scarcely dare say so, my experi- ence being that to brag is apt to bring a reverse. We are GBD glad to learn that George found so great a resource in his Its gardening. No pleasures are endless. Affectionately S. G. W. Samuel G. Werd to Mary G. W. Dorr 1608 K. Street, Dec'r 14, 199 My dear Mary: The pictures are photographed and being packed up to go home. We think them a success, & send you prints of them which you can put into your book. The Wm Candid is copied, too, & the M. S. will go to you forthwith, with many thanks. I find it extraordinarily interesting. I don't be- - lieve I had read it for half a century or more & had forgot- ten how good it was. I will have it printed with other family documents for the family only. You didn't acknowledge the little book of prints I sent you. (I hope you are not ill. By the way, after this book was gone it struck me I had written your initials M. G. W. instead of M. G. W. D. If so, will you please add the D. It was mere inadvertance which I am so subject to that I hardly trust myself to ? up a cheque. Anna & both of us have been much afflicted by the death of Mrs Rhine lander here, where they had come for a mild- er winter She had been a most devoted friend. With her love to you & G. Affectionately, S. G. W. Samuel G. Ward to Mary G. W. Dorr May 1900. My dear Mary: I am glad to hear of you in such vigor as you show in going to Lenox to put the house in order. I had not forgotten the book of old Mss - far from it - but as my posthumous volume will contain most of what is valuable in it, including Wm Candid's narration, and the proofs are only just now beginning to come in, I shall need it for some months to come. By the way, as to its ultimate disposition, you and I being the last of our generation, what do you think of our passing it on while we are here to 4. Ampt. the next generation in the Ward name, where alone it can be the of value - Say to Tom with a letter from us requesting that it be always passed on to the oldest possessor of the Ward the name. ( note there has been a regular succession of Wards, mostly eldest sons, from Miles Ward. To insure its care, I think a case should be made for it, & marked. I am glad to know I may expect your photograph to make my number complete. We expect to leave for West End on 24th if Annis well enough, which always makes our moving an anxious question. Please regard all I have said about my book as confi- dential. Affectionately yours, S. G.

This will take in the whole moun- tain range and its adjoining valleys, together with good wharfages and sea approaches, and a considerable extent of shore. On the historic side, keeping alive the memory of a singularly interesting period in the settlement of the country and of the part France took in that settlement, the Monument has a distinct mission. It can enrich the national life with memories and associations we have been losing sight of. This back-ground of history, I find, interests everyone who comes here very greatly and is already becoming through the Sieur de Monts Publications a feature of the Monument. I have these publications on distribution at two places, the Govern- ment office and at the Sieur de Monts Spring entrance to the Monument, of which Secretary Lane can tell you. It interested him more, he told me as he was going off, than any other thing he saw here, in its combination of the wildness of nature and the human touch. There, opposite the entrance to the Emery path which leads to Sieur de Monts Crag and on over Dry Mountain to the Island summit, I have placed a simple little building sixteen feet square with a sanded floor and with a round oak table I gave for the purpose in the middle; the Crag looks down on it. On the table these publications are kept, spread out, and the door is open. A constant stream of people already passes there in summer time and carries off these pamphlets. It 4. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE WASHINGTON has become, from a seemingly remote and unfrequented spot one of the most frequented spots on the Island within the last two years, it being first opened to the public on the creation of the Monument. Placed where the Monument is, with its railroad, motor, and water connections -- and air connections doubtless present- ly -- it is bound to be a point of great resort in the future, as it is developed and takes on a park-like aspect. Villa residence is already occupying the shore as far as the Penobscot, in practically unbroken occupation. The time is not distant when the park will present the only tract of really wild land upon the whole coast. The problem is, as I stated in my paper, to maintain its atmosphere of wildness and of natural beauty in the presence of the many thousand people who will annually visit it. Another matter I am studying over now is to make resort to it inexpensive, so that people of moderate means or on salary can come to it freely. This is a matter that I talked over with Mrs. Lane when she and Secretary Lane were here, I can get people boarded now at not exceeding fourteen dollars a week, and this is the first year -- owing to war prices when it would have been as high. But to provide for people at such rates on a large scale new accommodations will have to be provided, and it is this question, of location and the cost of building, which I am working on. The railroads will make special rates for such visitors to the park, I have ascertained. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR NATIONAL PARK SERVICE LAFAYETTE NATIONAL PARK and BAR HARBOR, MAINE P OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT June 15, 1922. Dear Mr. Eaton: I shall be glad to do anything I can to supply you with information concerning our undertaking here. The Sieur de Monts National Monument became a national park, under the title of Lafayette National Park, in February, 1919. It now takes rank as the only national park in the eastern United States, apart from war memorials. The land has been, throughout, a gift to the Government for the benefit of the people, but Congress makes annual appropriation for it as for its other parks. It has its office at Bar Harbor. The extent of the park is much greater than it was when Joke the lands were first accepted by the Government and is increasing steadily by further gifts. All this land now constitutes an absolute 5 sanctuary for wild life, protected by Government rangers. Its character is such - mountainous and well wooded, with lakes and streams, and lying on the border between sea and land in the coast migration route of birds - as to fit it for wild life in many and various forms. In connection with this, a biological laboratory was established last year on land secured by me for such purpose a number of years ago on the northern shore of the Island, at Salisbury Cove, and I am enclosing you a pamphlet issued to announce its establishment, having none more recent at hand. 2. With regard to publications relating to the park, each national park is allowed to print at the Government's expense one publica- tion only, containing .ith other matter its rules and regulations. Of this, which contains an article which I wrote originally for Appalachia, the journal of the Appalachian Mountain Club, I enclose a rew copies. Should you want others, my office can furnish you with any number you may desire, it being printed by the Government for free distribution. The earlier publications that I made as part of my campaign IOr the park's establish- ment were printed in small editions only, and are now mainly out of print. I have others now in press which will be obtainable from the park office when printed, at a price to cover cost, and this I shall be glad to have you state as well as the fact of the free distribution of the Rules and Regulations paper and that my office - the office of Lafayette National Park - will gladly answer any letters that may be written it or any questions asked. Quote what you will from Mr. LaFarge's letter, giving him credit only - as I have done. Please ..rite if I can do more to help you. Yours sincerely, Gonza B. worr The publications will go iorward under separate cover. IN 1932 THE HOME GEOGRAPHIC MONTHLY (v. 2, #1) PUB LISHED AN ARTICLE BY GEORGE B.
