"For Carrie Sherwood. This was the first time I walked off on my own feet—everything before was half read and half an immitation [sic] of writers whom I admired. In this one I hit the home pasture and found that I was Yance Sorgeson [Sorgenson; Webster County farmer] and not Henry James.   Willa Cather   [Stout #922]

Can't remember if she ever wrote about Elizabeth's mother's surgery. Life has been very disordered. Has been at Grand Manan, off the coast of New Brunswick, at the house she and Miss Lewis have there. Expects to go to Quebec in a few weeks. It has been a hard year. Likes the essay on herself in Whipple's book Spokesmen [R. K. Whipple, Spokesmen: Modern Writers and American Life, 1928], which has a fine essay on Henry Adams. Greetings to her mother. P.S.: Likes Thornton Wilder's new book [probably The Bridge of San Luis Rey, 1927].  Willa Cather   [Stout #944]

Seldom writes short stories and does not like writing essays about her own writing, so will not contribute to the volume he is editing.   Willa Cather   [Stout #945]

Was in Boston when he was on the radio, so didn't hear. Appreciates his interest in her work.   Willa Cather   [Stout #947]

Friend who heard his radio talk liked what he had to say, but regretted he pronounced her name as if it were Kayther. Should rhyme with "gather" or "rather."   Willa Cather   [Stout #948]

Hoped to see him, but understands he is away. Leaving for Canada in a few days. He understood what she was doing in the new book quite precisely. Interesting that he liked Bishop Laval best, as she does also, for his loyalty to French ways. Left it up to Knopf to decide about Book-of-the-Month Club, but he would not have allowed it if she had opposed. Wants to know when Mrs. Canby's book of verse is published. Since in California so much with her mother, loses touch with things in New York.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1060]

Not true that the biography of Mary Baker Eddy is an "unknown Cather." Only did some editing on it.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1239]
