To Wilbur Cross,  Jan. 10, 1922 ; Beinecke 

Understood from the Canbys that she would see him before now, so didn't write. Has articles due to the New Republic and the Nation in February, so can't get one done for the Yale Review right away.   Willa Cather   [Stout #572]

To Marion Canby,  Oct. 5, [1924?], from Jaffrey, N.H. ; Beinecke 

Was glad to see her handwriting on the envelope, because it said, even without the letter itself, that she was better. Will see her this winter if she is in New York.   Willa Cather   [Stout #747]

Sorry to hear about her tonsils. Off to Arizona soon. Hopes she will like the new book to be published in September [ My Mortal Enemy ]. An experimental form.   Willa Cather   [Stout #828]

To Marion Canby,  May 29, [prob. 1928], from the Grosvenor Hotel, New York ; Beinecke 

Should never look for a subject but let the subject find her. Imagination merely sets free one's memories and feelings. Going north soon. Enjoyed seeing her.   Willa Cather   [Stout #935]

To Henry Seidel Canby,  June 26, 1931, from Grosvenor Hotel, New York ; Beinecke 

Hoped to see him, but understands he is away. Leaving for Canada in a few days. He understood what she was doing in the new book quite precisely. Interesting that he liked Bishop Laval best, as she does also, for his loyalty to French ways. Left it up to Knopf to decide about Book-of-the-Month Club, but he would not have allowed it if she had opposed. Wants to know when Mrs. Canby's book of verse is published. Since in California so much with her mother, loses touch with things in New York.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1060]

To Marion Canby,  n.d. [c. Aug. 1, 1931?] , from Grand Manan ; Beinecke 

Was disappointed to miss her in New Haven. Seems to have been living on trains, rushing to family crises; never sees anyone. Has built a house here in a quiet place near the sea, and is again feeling happy to wake up in the morning.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1064]

To Marion Canby,  Oct. 30, [1931] ; Beinecke 

Was pleased to receive her poems. They carry the voice of friendship. Feels very displaced and lacking in purpose.   Willa Cather   [Stout #1082]

To Marion Canby,  Apr. 21, [1932?] ; Beinecke 

Has just found her book of verses [High Mowing, 1932] among a great many books that have come by mail. Likes them very much. Will be in town at the Grosvenor for about two weeks. Hopes they can talk. P.S.: Especially likes "Timid One" [a poem that expresses a wish for escape from being one's self ].  Willa Cather   [Stout #1106]
