Newspaper clippings
Scope and Content of the Collection
The collection consists almost entirely of letters written by Willa Cather. Most of the outgoing correspondence is letters and cards to Irene Miner Weisz dating from 1912 to 1946, a number of which reveal much about the author's health and her writing. Other outgoing correspondence consists of letters from Cather to Mary Miner Creighton, Carrie Miner Sherwood, and a few other friends. Also, four incoming letters addressed to Cather (one from Sigrid Undset about conditions in Norway after World War II and another from author Fannie Hurst), two miscellaneous letters regarding Cather, and a few newspaper clippings. In some instances, there are associated letters that Cather enclosed with her own letters to Weisz.
