Addressee: Jewett, Sarah Orne
Date: 1908-12-19
Repository: Harvard University, Houghton Library, Cambridge, Mass.

To Sarah Orne Jewett, Dec. 19, [1908], from New York ; Harvard

Has read her letter many times. These past few years has felt confused, tired, drained of energy by the job and has felt cut off from her self. Mr. McClure wants her to become another Ida Tarbell; he doesn't believe she will ever be much of a writer of fiction. Feels as much a beginner in her writing as she ever did, as if she hadn't learned at all. Doesn't even have the feeling of learning about other things, as when she was a teacher. Hectic pace is giving her a bad temperament. Glad to have her salary; needs to help out the family now and then; but could quit now and have enough in the bank to live on for three or four years. Has reread "Martha's Lady," such a beautiful story. Will hope to get up to Boston after Christmas. Willa [Stout #145]

Letter ID: 0182
Addressee: Foerster, Norman
Date: 1910-07-20
Repository: University of Nebraska-Lincoln Libraries, Archives and Special Collections, Willa Cather Collected Materials (MS008)

To Norman Foerster, July 20, 1910, on McClure's letterhead ; UNL

Is pleased to see his success. Looking forward to his article on Gilbert White. Always expected him to write well, if he could get beyond youthful egoism. Since they have no book publishing now, can't consider his book of nature essays. Suggests Doubleday Page, which bought them out, or Houghton Mifflin. Ferris Greenslet there an old friend. For the magazine, more interested in content and a style more scientific than literary, designed to convey information. P.S.: Has been running the magazine alone past six months, as Mr. McClure has been ill. Will be going abroad this winter. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #182]
