Roscoe has been ill, but needs money worse than he needs her presence. How nice it is to have independence! Life has a lot of variety these days. Mr. Farrar broke his leg but is still capable of fun. Mrs. Canfield and Dorothy visited during Christmas. Turned the tables by introducing them to society. Many parties, including a dinner for Ethelbert Nevin. Has met interesting people—Anthony Hope Hopkins, F. Marion Crawford, Fridtjof Nansen. Went shopping with Nevin today, and he bought her a bunch of violets. Willa [Stout #47]
Read her new story along with several friends, and all enjoyed it. The central character is quite compelling. Congratulations. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #111]
Story enclosed ["The Willing Muse," Century August 1907], with all grammatical errors found (she hopes) and corrected. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #128]
Will need to treat the current litigation in the last chapter of the History of Christian Science. Wants to approach it by way of Eddy's relationship with her son, George Glover. Is going to Nebraska in late July, would like to see Mr. Glover while in the West. He could edit the article to safeguard Glover's interests in the suit. Would he like to borrow her copy of the 1881 edition of Science and Health? Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #129]
Understands he cannot give permission to interview the Glovers. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #130]
Found his September 13 letter when she returned. Hopes to see him about the Eddy matter. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #131]
Is it true he has a diary kept by Dr. E. J. Foster that quotes many of Mrs. Eddy's sayings? May she have access to it? Would quote only with his approval. Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #132]
Would be happy to meet her if she is in Boston. Believes a better title for her book of poems is "Songs of Pain and Renunciation." Willa Sibert Cather [Stout #134]
Very sorry to hear of the death of her father. Another sorrow after such a hard two years. Must be very hard for her mother. Hopes to see her in Pittsburgh some time this fall. Sends condolences. Willa Cather [Stout #139]
Enjoyed reading the Aldrich book on the train. Willa S—C—(William) [Stout #141]
