To Mrs. George SeibelJan. 31, [1916?], from New YorkHarvard 

Is very pleased by her letter praising the book. Someone wanted to know if the piece-picture was made up. Mrs. Seibel will remember that it hung in the fitting room of a tailor for women. Except when hospitalized with blood poisoning, writing went steadily. Glad she believes in her.   Willa Sibert Cather   [Stout #349]

Please see that the middle initial is cut out of name on title page. Please set illustrations a little lower on the page to give an effect of spaciousness overhead.   Willa Cather   [Stout #408]


To Mrs. George SeibelFeb. 2, [1919?], from New YorkWCPM 

Appreciates her nice letter about the book. Surprising that it is so well received, since it avoids all the usual ingredients of a story. Enjoyed Mr. Seibel's romance of prehistory [The Fall: Being a True Account of What Happened in Paradise, with a New Interpretation of Sacred History, Vindicating Snakes and Apples, 1918]. Looking forward to her visit.   Willa Cather   [Stout #449]
