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.

To Miss Van
Tuyll,
[at Houghton
Mifflin]
May 24, [1915], from New
York
; Harvard
Very pleased that she likes the story. Doesn't want a picture of herself published unless she gets a good one this
summer at the cliff dwellings. Will get one taken by a photographer if she must, but it will
only be disillusioning to the public.

The sample of heavy lettering is what she had in mind, but the accent over the initial "A"
needs to be more distinct.

To Carl Van Doren,
July 30, [1921], from Toronto
; Princeton
Has been noticing his writing on authors in their own styles, and likes what he did with her.
Believes her new novel will be her best
yet, but he will still probably think it formless. He can return her copy of The Troll Garden when she gets back to
New York.

Thanks for the book, which was waiting when she returned from sanitorium. Glad he likes Ántonia, but believes new
book is better. Three years of hard
work.
