Enjoyed his letter and is glad he wrote. Interesting that his mother owns High Mowing. Wrote
much of the later part of My
Ántonia in a tent at the bottom of the hill between there and Stony Brook
Farm, when Mrs. Robinson owned the property. Was
staying at the Shattuck Inn and would go up the road and through the hedge to the tent. Would
go back to the inn at midday through the woods, where there was an abundance of lady's-slipper
and Hookers' orchid. [Varieties of both lady's-slipper and wild orchid
are marked in Cather's personal copy of Mathews's Field Book of American Wild Flowers at the
HRC.] Once saw a fox. Glad he loves both High Mowing and the book that was partly written there. Has not gone to the inn
much since the woods were damaged by a hurricane.
