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.
