To Ferris Greenslet, Apr. 27, [1921], from Toronto ; Harvard

Sorry he hurt his shoulder. Her sprained ankle still bandaged. Please give Mr. Llona additional time on the translation. Some of what he has done seems worthwhile.

To Laura Hills, May Day [1921] , from 38 St. Vincent Street, Toronto ; PM

Enjoyed her letter; opened it when she and Isabelle were having tea and has tacked it up in her studio up under the eaves. Is working on a translation of Ántonia into French that will be published in La Nouvelle revue française. Feels proud of that. P.S.: Has met a woman from Boston whose cousin is married to Ms. Hills's cousin—a very nice person. Willa S. C. [Stout #543]

To Mrs. Charlotte Stanfield, June 12, [1921], from Toronto ; UVa

Sorry to have left town without seeing her and Mrs. [Franz?] Boas. Sinclair Lewis said such nice things in his Toronto lecture that she had to beg people to leave her alone so she could work. Health is better than when she left. Novel progressing. Sending a snapshot taken when she was in the Mediterranean. Willa Cather [Stout #544]

To Mr. Partington and Mrs. Partington [?], June 23, [1921?] from Toronto; Newberry

Doesn't believe the story [possibly "Coming, Eden Bower!" Smart Set August 1920] reflects anything in Ethelbert Nevin's life, though it's true, she knew him briefly and was impressed by him. Willa Cather [Stout #546]

Letter ID: 0547
Addressee: Sergeant, Elizabeth Shepley
Date: 1921-07-06
Repository: University of Virginia, Alderman Library, Charlottesville, Va.

To Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant, July 6, [1921], from Toronto ; UVa

How nice, that she is in New Mexico! Having to work on botanical details of a French translation of My Ántonia, not a very good one. Probably won't go to Nebraska until September; instead, going to Grand Manan for August. Did she know about Greenslet's broken shoulder? Now that the demand for Ántonia is increasing, Houghton Mifflin is out of stock because of a printers' strike. What impossible people! W. S. C. [Stout #547]
