To Will Owen Jones, May 7, 1903 from 1180 Murray Hill Pittsburgh ; UVa

Thanks for launching her with S. S. McClure. Had a telegram from him and has been to New York to see him. Feeling elated, as if her life is now more valuable than before. McClure to run her stories in the magazine, then publish as a book. Will place for her any he does not use. At the McClure house met wife of Robert Louis Stevenson, who had read the stories. Greatly appreciates his help. Other plans afoot. P.S.: Doesn't seem to be able to reach Sarah Harris. Willa S. Cather [Stout #84]

Date: 1904-03/1904-04
Repository: University of Vermont, Bailey-Howe Library, Burlington, Vt.

To Dorothy Canfield, Saturday [Mar. or Apr. 1904] ; UVt

Thanks for sharing what Miss Roseboro' said about the stories. Roseboro's own are a sentimental muddle. Best wishes for Dorothy's doctoral exam in May. Hopes to get to Vermont this summer. Will mainly be in New York near or with Edith Lewis. Hopes to finish novel there. Might take an English course at Columbia, if there is one in the summer. Isabelle still droopy from bad throat. Parents [Cather's] have just moved into a new, roomier house and want her to come help select furnishings, but she needs to finish the novel for McClure. Willie [Stout #97]

Date: 1904-05
Repository: University of Vermont, Bailey-Howe Library, Burlington, Vt.

To Dorothy Canfield, Sunday [May 1904] ; UVt

Sorry not to have been more sensitive about the doctoral exam, but doesn't understand Ph.D.s. Now realizes it was an ordeal. Expects to be in New York about June 28 and hopes she can come down. Hasn't decided whether the novel is worth rewriting. Hopes to go abroad with Isabelle again next year. May yet go to Red Cloud this summer. Has had two nice visits with the Willards. Exams to begin soon at school, so will be busy. Willie [Stout #98]

To Viola Roseboro' [?] , n.d. [Feb. 1905?] transcription by Bernice Slote; ; Drew U (Adams 166)

Thanks for the photo of herself. Is getting over the feeling of being disgraced with the firm. Can't understand why some people think she has done something terrible. Hopes to go to New York last week of March. Saw Paderewski perform. Has been feeling very low. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #103]

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]

Letter ID: 0124
Addressee: Tarbell, Ida
Date: 1907-01-04/1907-01-11
Repository: Allegheny College, Pelletier Library, Meadville, Pa.

To Ida Tarbell, Friday [prob. Jan. 4 or 11, 1907] , from New York ; Allegheny

Has read the tariff articles while at home with a cold and was surprised to find them interesting. Truly important magazine writing.[Tarbell's tariff articles appeared in American Magazine from 1906–1911; in book form 1911.] Willa Cather [Stout #124]

Letter ID: 0125
Addressee: Dwight, Harrison G.
Date: 1907-01-12
Repository: Amherst College, Amherst, Mass.

To H. G. Dwight, Jan. 12, [1907?], from 60 Washington Square, New York ; Amherst

Envies his being in Italy. Is working on the material about Eddy, after three men failed with it. It drives out every trace of an imaginative idea. Why doesn't he like [Pierre] Loti—afraid of real imagination? He covers up his own with slang and imitations of Kipling. Or maybe he fears being sentimental. McClure has paid $500 for illustrations for "The Valley of the Mills." Was in Pittsburgh a couple of months ago and saw the Willards. Only music saves her in New York. Please ask Mr. Reynolds to send her his work personally. Willa S. Cather [Stout #125]
