Dear Friend--
I am roaming about the country lecturing--getting money to pay for my farm and build a house on it.
Mrs. A[nderson] came to Cincinnati and told me your book had come. I'm glad. Wish I were at home. Will write you when I do get there.
At Pittsburgh yesterday I heard of a young instructor who almost lost his job because he cares for your books.
My new novel is selling. We are coming to Paris next fall--sure.
Every place I go someone corners me and says--"For God sake explain Gertrude Stein." I grin and back away.
Love to Hemingways,
Sherwood Anderson.

Alex Kudera’s award-winning novel, Fight for Your Long Day (Atticus Books), was drafted in a walk-in closet during a summer in Seoul, South Korea. Auggie’s Revenge (Beating Windward Press) is his second novel. His numerous short stories include “Frade Killed Ellen” (Dutch Kills Press), “Bombing from Above” (Heavy Feather Review), and “A Thanksgiving” (Eclectica Magazine).
