Glad she likes the little book, and will hope to meet her when she is in Boston. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #301]
She should try to see Fremstad as Isolde later this month. Willie [Stout #333]
Enclosing an article for Book News. Isabelle's father has died. Has had to forgo going to Chicago with Fremstad, who seems to like the book. Glad the reviews haven't mentioned her. Hasn't heard from McClure. W. S. C. [Stout #335]
Will get to Chicago at 9 A.M. Thursday [Oct. 17] and leave for Toronto at four that afternoon. Hopes they can visit for a few hours. Willa [Stout #436]
Enclosing a review. Such a reader catches the whole better than those who concentrate on identifying originals for the characters. Please share with Carrie. Leaving for New York on the 30th. Willie [Stout #438]
Please send twenty-five reprints from Chicago News. Is Houghton Mifflin going to insert this item as a folder into new publications? Knopf has done that for Hergesheimer. Long letter to come soon. W. S. C. [Stout #459]
Got the books off to White. People from Boni and Liveright and from Collier's and Ladies' Home Journal came to tea and brought copies of the Tribune article by Mrs. Norris. Will send Mary Austin a copy of The Troll Garden if he didn't already. If Austin is bothering to use her big intellect on writing an article, she ought to have everything. W. S. C. [Stout #487]
Sending quotation from William Allen White. Please return it. Miss Lewis has had a relapse and they couldn't get a nurse. What is the doctor calling the bug he has? Sorry he didn't see Knopf. Viola Roseboro' has been telling her she can't find a copy of Ántonia. Stores in Chicago have been unable to get copies, and Brentano's says its order hasn't been filled. Willa Cather [Stout #495]
Shocked that he would attribute the reports from Chicago to "investigators." They were people she knew. Will read Miss Singmaster's book when she can, but has seen many of her manuscripts in the past and they never had any particular interest. Willa Cather [Stout #499]
Please encourage people to patronize Fanny Butcher's shop. Willie [Stout #500]
