Repository: Harvard University, Houghton Library, Cambridge, Mass.

To Ferris Greenslet, Oct. 18, [1919], from New York ; Harvard

The Bookman that he spoke of in his October 14 note has arrived. Likes the ad. Swedish edition of O Pioneers! has also arrived. When he reprints, will he please change the color of the binding? Let her know when she can phone him—doesn't have her own phone just now. Will get back to work on "Claude" Monday after this [October 27]. W. S. C. [Stout #480]

Letter ID: 0489
Addressee: Greenslet, Ferris

Repository: Harvard University, Houghton Library, Cambridge, Mass.

To Ferris Greenslet, Dec. 28, 1919, from New York ; Harvard

Hopes he will be in New York before January 7. Please change the mustard-color binding of O Pioneers!. If the company doesn't want to bother with the book, how much would they want for the rights to it? Has agreed to let Knopf bring out a new edition of The Troll Garden in early spring. Will make sure it isn't at the same time as "Claude." P.S.: The Bookman ad was the only time they were willing to make bold claims for the quality of her books. Willa Cather [Stout #489]
