A message from Polly Howells on a plan by Harvard University to sell the William Dean Howells Memorial House at Kittery Point: "They say it is a financial drain, and there is some thought that there might be a better way to honor WDH. I know the few scholars I have contacted about this -- the ones on the Howells Memorial Committee at Harvard, which is now seemingly defunct -- are upset about it. If you would like to put the word out on the Howells website, people could email me with their feelings about it, and I could send them on the the man who is temporarily in charge of this business at Harvard."
