Repository: University of Virginia, Alderman Library, Charlottesville, Va.

To Will Owen Jones, May 7, 1903 from 1180 Murray Hill Pittsburgh ; UVa

Thanks for launching her with S. S. McClure. Had a telegram from him and has been to New York to see him. Feeling elated, as if her life is now more valuable than before. McClure to run her stories in the magazine, then publish as a book. Will place for her any he does not use. At the McClure house met wife of Robert Louis Stevenson, who had read the stories. Greatly appreciates his help. Other plans afoot. P.S.: Doesn't seem to be able to reach Sarah Harris. Willa S. Cather [Stout #84]

To Dr. James Hulme Canfield, May 21, 1903 from Pittsburgh ; UVt

Letter ID: 0088
Addressee: Roseboro', Viola
Date: 1903-06-14
Repository: Harvard University, Houghton Library, Cambridge, Mass.

To Viola Roseboro', June 14,[1903], from 1180 Murray Hill, Pittsburgh ; Harvard

Typed note by Witter Bynner indicates that Roseboro' gave him the letters. Yes, certainly knows A Shropshire Lad. Don't her own poems show it? Traced Housman in Shropshire, where he seems unknown. Visited him in a boardinghouse in a dreary London suburb. He looked gaunt, seemed bitter, but is the only English poet now active whose work will endure. Though an instructor in Latin, he writes strictly from the level of a country boy. Willa S. Cather [Stout #88]

Letter ID: 0095
Addressee: Jones, Will Owen
Date: 1904-03-06
Repository: University of Virginia, Alderman Library, Charlottesville, Va.

To Will Owen Jones, Mar. 6, 1904 from Pittsburgh ; UVa

Comments about "A Wagner Matinee" in his column were biting. Family is offended by the story, too. Didn't mean to disparage Nebraska. Story reflects past times and a particular mood. The Troll Garden won't be out until fall. Willa S. Cather [Stout #95]

Letter ID: 0097
Addressee: Fisher, Dorothy Canfield
Date: 1904-03/1904-04
Repository: University of Vermont, Bailey-Howe Library, Burlington, Vt.

To Dorothy Canfield, Saturday [Mar. or Apr. 1904] ; UVt

Thanks for sharing what Miss Roseboro' said about the stories. Roseboro's own are a sentimental muddle. Best wishes for Dorothy's doctoral exam in May. Hopes to get to Vermont this summer. Will mainly be in New York near or with Edith Lewis. Hopes to finish novel there. Might take an English course at Columbia, if there is one in the summer. Isabelle still droopy from bad throat. Parents [Cather's] have just moved into a new, roomier house and want her to come help select furnishings, but she needs to finish the novel for McClure. Willie [Stout #97]

Date: 1906-06-23
Repository: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

To H. G. Dwight, Saturday [June 23, 1906] on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Sorry to have missed him. Felt ill and left early. Can they have an appointment July 2 or 3? Willa S. Cather [Stout #113]

Letter ID: 0114

Date: 1906-07-03
Repository: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

To H. G. Dwight, July 3, 1906 on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Will publish "The Valley of the Mills" as is if he can't revise it. Would like to see "Mortmain" again if he can sharpen its point. S. S. McClure, per W. S. C. [Stout #114]
