You were good to write me about my story4. I've been trying to write it—in my
mind—for years. Some day, the next time you come to New York5, I'll tell you how I happened to write it
at last, if you care to know. There was a review6 in
Chicago Tribune7 October 23 which really states
what I was trying to get at. Most of them say "Ah, we are each our
his own Worst Enemy!" Sad and true, but not the point in
this instance!
I hope not to be quite so hard driven this winter, so if you come to N.Y. please let me know. My telephone is Watkins 7736. Wasn't it glorious to see May Willard8 again? I've had a splendid autumn up here, and have done some mountain climbing I'm very shirty about. Now-a-days I'm only really happy when I'm away from New York, alas.
My love and admiration to your mother9, as always.
Yours W. S. C. Elizabeth Moorhead Vermorcken 5308 Ellsworth Ave. Pittsburgh3 Penn. JAFFREY N. H.2 OCT 28 1926 6 30 AM Willa Cather
