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

Liked "The Valley of the Mills" enough to buy it, but believes his work can be stronger. Would like to talk with him about some descriptive articles on the Mediterranean. Going to Pittsburgh on Friday [Oct. 12] to stay until November 1. Will be living at no. 60 South Washington Square upon return. Please drop by the office. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #116]

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

S. S. McClure has reread "The Valley of the Mills" and hopes to see more work from him. Please send his address so she won't have to write through Reynolds. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #118]

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 Mrs. Ford Madox Hueffer, May 20, 1909, from Thackeray Hotel, London ; Cornell

Apologizes for having caused Mrs. Hueffer the irritation of a complaint from Joseph Conrad about Cather's attempt to see him. Believed Mr. Hueffer [pseud. Ford Madox Ford] had assured her of welcome. Had hoped to obtain something for publication in McClure's. Is leaving for Paris Saturday [the 22nd] but hopes to see her when she returns. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #161]
