Has made a note of his new address. Please don't describe her new book as nostalgic! People say that about all her books. Isn't homesick all the time.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1354]

Shares his high opinion of Archibald MacLeish's statement about the war. [MacLeish called on the U.S. to enter the war in order to defend democracy against fascism.] People pay far too little attention to statements by important leaders. No one has made more forceful and important statements than Winston Churchill, but neither he nor MacLeish is likely to be able to wake people up to the dangers.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1496]

Will consider placing Jewett's letters there when ready to place them at all. They are personal letters and mean a great deal to her. Allowed Mrs. Fields to use letters that seemed to have a public interest, because she was convinced they provided good advice to any young writer.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1556]

Appreciates his note and accompanying Biblical message. Friendly gestures especially important these days. Enjoys knowing others who refuse to believe the war is putting an end to all the values of the past three thousand years. Feels glad to have lived and learned the little she has about human history. The war has destroyed a great deal, but not everything.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1608]

Did not receive his letter for a while because the doormen at her apartment house took the stationery to be an advertisement. Thus, missed his tea. Very sorry.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1631]
