Please forgive my tardiness in replying to your letter. I have been travelling about since leaving Bread Loaf3 and have been separated from a trunk which contained a number of unanswered letters. I got your copy of "The Bright Medusa"4 off to you before leaving Vermont5, however.
In reply to your question, I very seldom lecture. The talk at Bread Loaf6 came about quite by accident. As I am going abroad soon after Christmas, I cannot make any lecture engagements for this winter. I appreciate the you do me in asking me, and thank your cordially.
Sincerely yours Willa Cather
