Sorry she could not accept her invitation. Days very full. Leaves for Nebraska in ten days for a long visit. Will have Friday afternoons as usual in February. Willa Cather [Stout #640]
Appreciated her interesting comments on One of Ours. Most critics wanted her to repeat Ántonia, though only two reviewers had liked it [ Ántonia ] when it was new. Has been delayed by work on proofs of new edition of April Twilights, so won't have Thanksgiving at home after all. Leaves tomorrow. Willa Cather [Stout #650]
Hopes she has not called on a Friday; has not been there. Was in hospital with influenza, then to sanitorium. Plans to sail the 24th. Goodbye until next winter. Willa Cather [Stout #681]
