"It happened that your envelope having just come was lying on the table and Balthus, perhaps one of the most interesting of the young painters and who is also passing winters and summers not far from us had bicycled over, and he said, what a nice handwriting. It is Sherwood Anderson I said, well said Balthus meditatively he is the one I like and admire most of all the American writers, he is the only one that has the real America in him, I have read them all and perhaps I like Many Marriages best, and so we talked about you a long time and he hopes to meet you, you probably have heard of him."
~~ from a letter from Gertrude Stein to Sherwood Anderson a few months before Anderson passed on
