Note Relating to Cather

According to a letter, Cather would like the type in her collected edition to resemble that in the Thistle Edition of Stevenson.

In an 1899 Courier article Cather writes: "There was a time when a certain cheerful gentleman, one Robert Louis Stevenson, wrote tales of the highland and the heather ... Ah! Those were indeed the days 'when the wind was blowin' bonny in the North Countree!'"

According to a 1901 Journal article, Cather says of Dumas' Camille that Marguerite "dies, in short, of being herself, as Stevenson said of Robert Burns."
