2 a book of present interest. It is a marked example of one of Miss Cather's chief faults - a mixing of things that are real with flights of the imagination. I looked for a copy at Long's "old book" shop, but didn't find one. Is it now out of print? I'll look again - at the City library - other copies may have been returned. And I must get to the Capitol for a look at some of the Bibliography puzzles again. I wish there were not so many underlined things to do! Now in the season of musical entertainments I am tempted so often to go places and hear things. Tonight the Minneapolis orchestra! to-morrow afternoon a University glee club. But I'm on my club program in May and must finish the Cather essay. So some other interests must lie fallow for a time. Yes, you had sent me the Cather letter. I commented on it in my last letter. As you know, she wrote numerous friendly letters; she probably saved her critical ideas for other writing. A little frost on the blooming strawberry bed this morning - we hope for less tonight but fear more if the sky is clear. One thing we can't do anything about in this terrible world of problems - Very truly yours, Flora Bullock
