To Ellery Sedgwick,
June 7, 1944
; UNL-Cather Collected
Enjoyed his letter, but his memory failed him: "A Chance Meeting" was republished in Not Under Forty, and Sedgwick wrote a very pleasant review of it in the Atlantic Monthly. He understood Mrs. Fields and her milieu more than most. Van Wyck Brooks, who is usually so careful, even credited
Cather with editing a book of Mrs. Whitman's
letters; Miss Jewett was the one who did that.
Had not heard the story of Henry James encountering
Flaubert before, but recalls that James said he used to send Flaubert and Turgenev copies of his
books and never got a response. It was big of James to
divulge it.
