To Viola Roseboro' [?] , n.d. [Feb. 1905?] transcription by Bernice Slote; ; Drew U (Adams 166) 

Thanks for the photo of herself. Is getting over the feeling of being disgraced with the firm. Can't understand why some people think she has done something terrible. Hopes to go to New York last week of March. Saw Paderewski perform. Has been feeling very low.    Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #103]

To H. G. DwightOct. 9, 1906, on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

To H. G. Dwight,  Friday [Nov. 2, 1906 ?] , on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst 

Envies his getting away and wishes him luck. He seems to think she wants to exploit his work as Witter Bynner might, but as a fellow writer, is simply interested and will give his stories fair consideration. Hopes he brings back literary spoils.    Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #117]


To H. G. DwightNov. 21, 1906, on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Sorry not to get home for Christmas, especially when he is ill, but can't desert McClure in this difficulty. Must get the March article out [on Mary Baker Eddy]. Did not work on the January one, began with February. Hopes to be home by New Year's.   Willie   [Stout #120]


To William L. Graves [of Columbus, Ohio]Dec. 17, 1906, on McClure's letterhead ; UVa
