[Rarebooks] FS: SIGNED Willa Cather Letter: "I very much hated advice when I was in school."

[Charles Agvent]

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)
