Has written to McClure about providing a sketch, but he is away in Texas. Will try to write the article for Book News if he will send more specific instructions. Let Mr. Scaife know about the quotable reviews in the Boston Advertiser and the New Bedford Standard. P.S.: Wondering if it will be reviewed in the Atlantic. Willa Cather [Stout #330]

To H. L. Mencken, May 2, [1916?], from New York ; NYPL

Enclosing the story she had told him about. Hopes he doesn't object to an indirect method of narration. Appreciates his review of The Song of the Lark. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #355]

Date: 1916-05-12
Repository: New York Public Library

To H. L. Mencken, May 12, 1916, from New York ; NYPL

True, the story suggests Lillian Nordica, though there are only two specifics that resemble her life, the shipwreck and the dispute over the will. Yes, her last husband, George Young, is still alive. Let her know by mail if he is going to be in town, as she has had her telephone disconnected. P.S.: Truly doesn't see how Young could object to the story. Willa S. Cather [Stout #358]

Repository: Harvard University, Houghton Library, Cambridge, Mass.

To R. L. Scaife, Mar. 8, 1917 from New York ; Harvard

Has set aside "The Blue Mesa" to work on a novel with western setting about the same length as O Pioneers!. Is about half through the first draft. How late could she get manuscript in to have a fall publication date? May have it by end of May or middle of June. If a fall publication this year not possible, will probably set it aside and do more stories. Reynolds can get $700 each for them. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #382]

To R. L. Scaife, Mar. 13, [1917] ; Harvard

Will try to finish the manuscript in time for fall publication. Doesn't want illustrations unless she can find just the right person. Would like a cover of dark blue with perhaps a bright yellow jacket. Willa Cather [Stout #383]
