passage written by Cather on separate enclosure. | written text |
One of my friends who did hear your radio talk tells me that she liked it very much, but that she was a good deal distressed at hearing my name mispronounced throughout. My name should be pronounced so as to exactly rhyme with “gather” and “rather”. I think the name “Kayther” about the ugliest on earth, and I do consider it a hardship that people so often attach it to me. My friend Mr. Mather’s4 name is always pronounced correctly. Nobody ever thinks of calling him Mayther.
I hope you will pardon my calling your attention to this, but next to being called
dishonest, I think I would rather be called anything butthan
Kayther.!
