Letter ID: 0125
Addressee: Dwight, Harrison G.
Date: 1907-01-12
Repository: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

To H. G. Dwight, Jan. 12, [1907?], from 60 Washington Square, New York ; Amherst

Envies his being in Italy. Is working on the material about Eddy, after three men failed with it. It drives out every trace of an imaginative idea. Why doesn't he like [Pierre] Loti—afraid of real imagination? He covers up his own with slang and imitations of Kipling. Or maybe he fears being sentimental. McClure has paid $500 for illustrations for "The Valley of the Mills." Was in Pittsburgh a couple of months ago and saw the Willards. Only music saves her in New York. Please ask Mr. Reynolds to send her his work personally. Willa S. Cather [Stout #125]

To H. G. Dwight, Aug. 24, 1911, on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Poem is beautiful but too long for McClure's. A terrible summer in New York. Leaving at the end of September for a six-month vacation to set herself straight. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #202]

Date: 1911-09-06
Repository: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

To H. G. Dwight, Sept. 6, 1911, on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Verses he sent are too intellectual for McClure's. Poetry they use must be more pictorial or narrative or emotional. Eager to leave, but hopes to see him before she goes. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #203]
