To S. S. McClure,  Thursday [Jan. 17, 1907?] from BostonIndiana 

Glad to have his letter along saying he has confidence in her. Has started to work. Needs to have the April article to the printer in two weeks. Mr. McKenzie very helpful and a born editor.   Willa S. Cather   [Stout #126]


To DeWolfe HoweJune 10, 1911, on McClure's letterhead ; Harvard 

Manuscript too biographical for McClure's, not focused enough. Sorry appointment was cut short, but needed to see Mr. Mackenzie, the business manager, before he left town.   Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #197]

To Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant,  n.d. [pm. Mar. 1, 1912] , from New YorkPM 

Has sold the Bohemian Girl story for $500. Was offered $750, but that was too much. How can she [Cather] leave McClure's when they are so nice to her? Mr. Mackenzie already wanting to advertise the opera singer story, when she hasn't even written it. Thinks she caught the germ of selling manuscripts from her! It was a good one to catch. Is staying in town for the dinner for William Dean Howells.   W. S. C.   [Stout #213]


To Ferris Greenslet,  Monday [Jan. 12, 1914] , from New YorkHarvard 

Is pleased to have the Adams book [prob. Henry Adams, Mont-Saint-Michel and Chartres, 1904; reissued by Houghton Mifflin in 1913]. Tell Nancy Moore her serial will get a quick reading by Mackenzie [at McClure's].   Willa Cather   [Stout #273]


To Charles F. CatherSeptember 23, 1913, from Valley Home, Virginia [probably originally included the correspondence from MacKenzie] ; UNL-Rosowski Cather 

Got a letter from the new owner of McClure's Magazine, Mr. Mackenzie, and thought father would like to know how much he appreciates S.S. McClure's "Autobiography," which she wrote.   Willie
