Addressee: Fisher, Dorothy Canfield
Date: 1903-11-06
Repository: University of Vermont, Bailey-Howe Library, Burlington, Vt.

To Dorothy Canfield, Nov. 6, 1903 from Pittsburgh ; UVt

Why didn't she tell her Dr. Canfield was in town? Has been shut in with a cold. Enjoys teaching but would prefer lower-class students who were used to working. When will Dorothy's children's story be published? Is her brother's new baby a boy or a girl? Edith [Isabelle's sister] is having coming-out parties. Willie [Stout #91]

Addressee: Jones, Will Owen
Date: 1904-03-06
Repository: University of Virginia, Alderman Library, Charlottesville, Va.

To Will Owen Jones, Mar. 6, 1904 from Pittsburgh ; UVa

Comments about "A Wagner Matinee" in his column were biting. Family is offended by the story, too. Didn't mean to disparage Nebraska. Story reflects past times and a particular mood. The Troll Garden won't be out until fall. Willa S. Cather [Stout #95]

Repository: Willa Cather Pioneer Memorial and Educational Foundation

To Kate McPhelim Cleary, [of Hubbell, Nebr.] Feb. 13, 1905 from Pittsburgh ; WCPM

Appreciates her letter to McClure about story in January issue. Glad someone besides herself knows it is accurate, not exaggerated. A volume of stories to be out soon. [Stout #104]

To Flavia [Mrs. James Hulme] Canfield, n.d. [c. June 15, 1905?] from 1180 Murray Hill, Pittsburgh ; UVt

Understands why she did not come with Dorothy last week. Not surprising she would feel angry toward anyone who hurt Dorothy. Willa Cather [Stout #106]

Will not return to the school in the fall, though expected to when she told them goodbye. Is going to New York to engage in work she enjoys even more than teaching. Wishes them well in their senior year. Willa Cather [Stout #112]

To H. G. Dwight, Oct. 9, 1906, on McClure's letterhead ; Amherst

Going to Pittsburgh on Friday [Oct. 12] to stay until November 1. Will be living at no. 60 South Washington Square upon return. Please drop by the office. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #116]

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]
