CATHER, Willa. TYPED LETTER SIGNED (TLS). A one-page typed letter on
Cather's monogrammed printed stationery and SIGNED by Cather at the
conclusion. Addressed to Mr. [Sharpless Dodson] Green, American
educator, responding to Green's solicitation for a letter offering his
pupils life guidance. In part: "I would like awfully well to write
something for them, but I am trying to save all my energy for the piece
of work I have in hand at present.... If you will give them my greetings
and good wishes, it may do quite as well as if I wrote them some advice.
I very much hated advice when I was in school." Along with an unrelated
typed letter SIGNED by Cather's secretary, Sarah J. Bloom, dated 14
November 1946, to a Mr. Braniff discussing Cather's busy schedule, her
travels to see family, and the demand on her "for any scrap of
handwriting that she can be persuaded to hand out." Ink blot to the "W"
in her signature, folding crease, marginal tears. Near Fine. (#019431)
