Autograph Letter Signed de Roberts, Kenneth - 1935

1935. paperback. Two pages, on one folded sheet of plain stationery dated September 26th, 1935 to Paul Dwight Moody, President of Middlebury College. Near fine with some light browning and a faint crease caused by an additional fold. In which Roberts declaims having been accused, "even by my own countrymen, of harboring a bitter hatred of Oxford..." and informs Moody that his support "is far more soothing than any mixture in Mrs. Winslow's syrup-kettle." He continues that he has been "poring over maps of your section of the country, to say nothing of wearing out the roads, in an attempt to make sure of some of the activities of the late Major Robert Rogers." This was two years before the publication of NORTHWEST PASSAGE. Roberts received an honoray degree from Middlebury in 1938
