To the Hon. William E. Chandler,  July 16, 1907 from Boston ; NHHS 

Will need to treat the current litigation in the last chapter of the History of Christian Science. Wants to approach it by way of Eddy's relationship with her son, George Glover. Is going to Nebraska in late July, would like to see Mr. Glover while in the West. He could edit the article to safeguard Glover's interests in the suit. Would he like to borrow her copy of the 1881 edition of Science and Health?    Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #129]

To Hon. William E. Chandler,  Nov. 29, 1907, from Pittsburgh ; NHHS 

Is it true he has a diary kept by Dr. E. J. Foster that quotes many of Mrs. Eddy's sayings? May she have access to it? Would quote only with his approval.   Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #132]

To Mrs. [Annetta Johnson] Saint-Gaudens,  Tuesday [pm. Feb. 4, 1908] , from Boston ; Dartmouth 

Would be happy to meet her if she is in Boston. Believes a better title for her book of poems is "Songs of Pain and Renunciation."   Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #134]

To Norman Foerster,  Saturday [July 24, 1910?] , from Plainfield, N.H. ; UNL 

Liked his paper on White. Glad he's no longer trying to imitate Pater and Swinburne.   Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #183]

To Elizabeth Shepley Sergeant,  Sept. 12, 1913, from Winchester, Va., UVa. ; PM 

Traveled from Pittsburgh to Virginia via Lake Erie. Winchester is dull. Doesn't really care about the people there anymore. Food is terrible. Would like to go up to Chocorua [N.H.] but needs to get back to New York and work. Why didn't she send her novel manuscript?   Willa   [Stout #264]

To Mrs. George P. Cather [Aunt Franc],  Sept. 9, [pm. 1917], from the Shattuck Inn, Jaffrey, N.H. ; UNL-Ray 

Understands her regret that G. P. has enlisted, but he has always wanted to be in the military and this is his chance. It's a time of return to basics: men carrying guns. For herself, feels proud of him and glad he can go, especially as an officer. Wishes Jack were going. Was sorry not to see her, but the heat was debilitating and she and her friend fled back East. Was too worn out to work for a while, but now is working every morning in a tent about a mile from the inn. Douglass's reports about Mother are disheartening. Wonders if she should go to California to see about her. Address is at Hotel Garfield on O'Farrell Street in San Francisco. Elsie is delighted with her school and with Albuquerque. On the whole, families are pretty good things to have.   Willa   [Stout #390]

To Paul R. Reynolds,  Sept. 14, [1917?], from Jaffrey, N.H. ; Columbia 

Will take $350 for the stories. Suggests he try "Little Annie" on McClure's and Everybody's. Did Smart Set reject "Scandal"?   W. S. C.   [Stout #391]

To Mrs. George P. Cather [Aunt Franc],  Sept. 19, [1917], from Jaffrey, N.H. ; UNL-Ray 

Sending a letter from Elsie she will enjoy.  P.S.: Will be home on Bank Street about Oct. 1.  Willa   [Stout #392]
