    Saw this article tossed up at Twitter somewhere today and forgot to bookmark. Couldn't find it when I realized I sped past it later. Thanks for posting it here, Charlotte.

    Thanks, Charlotte. Cather had recorded in her will that her letters were not to be published. She spent later years calling back letters she had written. I read the letter given as a sample in this feature but hope not to read too many more, in keeping with her will. I think her short stories are very good. Coming, Aphrodite! is one of the best. I hope to re-read her other stories as well.
