I have just returned from a hurried trip to the Pacific coast, and find your very kind letter awaiting me. I should, of course, be very pleased to have your forthcoming booklet4 on Housman5 dedicated6 to me. But since your letter is dated February 22, the book is probably out by this time.
The Housman number7 of the Quarterly8 I read with great interest before I went West9. Your account10 of your dinner with Housman at Cambridge is especially revelatory of his sardonic kind of humor. I am glad also to have the two photographs11 of him. Do you know the drawing12 of Housman in William Archer's13 “Modern English Poets?”14
Sincerely yours Willa Cather Mr. Cyril Clemens1 Webster Groves 3 Missouri NEW YORK, N. Y.2 MAR 1937 10 AM
