This book was still reported missing as of May 30, 2019. A copy of Mountain Interval by Robert Frost was stolen. The book was either a first or second edition. It had a dark blue cover and the gold gilt on the lettering had faded. The most distinguishable trait about it was that it had a bookplate on the inside front cover with a black and white silhouette of a woman and the words "Jessamine's Book" written beneath it. This book is a family heirloom and of great sentimental value to the original owner. If you have any information on this item, please contact Sarah King Bartell at (405) 650-0866 or s.fenner.king@gmail.com. [more Stolen: 'Mountain Interval' by Robert Frost]
