I think it would be a good thing to use the quotation3 you make from Fanny Butcher4's review5, in any way that seems to you proper and effective.
Technically, Mr. Keppel6 is right7; but the color prints came along so soon after the year 1700 struck, that I thought I might juggle with time, just as I did with topography in placing the king's wharehouses on the St. Lawrence, though they were really on the St. Charles until about 1725. (Queer that nobody has come up with that.)
The corrections in usage suggested in your letter I think you had better have made. Please ask Mr. Preston8 to make sure about the accent in Liege9; I thought it grave. I attach the list of corrections to be made, from your letter.
You will hear from me later in the week about two new stories10 which I want you to read as a favor to me.
Faithfully yours Willa CatherPage 208, second paragraph, first line: wracked for racked.
