Bloom, Adelaide Cutter, Mr. Dooher, Guglielmo Ferrero, Blanche Knopf, Miss MacKinder, Georgia McCanby, Rollo Ogden, Jeannette Rood, Walter Title, and John Jayne Westroppe.

Guglielmo Ferrero's letter is in French. There is also a fragment of a letter that could be from Cather's father to her mother in 1918 in the Miscellaneous series. Other miscellaneous materials include a letter from A. H. Goldstone to Margie Cohen in 1954 about the first and second edition of Death Comes for the Archbishop, as well as five recipes, and three newspaper clippings. Other HRHRC collections containing Cather material are Artine Artinian, Ellsworth P. Conkle, Willard Connely, Alfred A. Knopf, Alfred A. Knopf, Inc., Marie A. B. Lowndes, Edgar Lee Masters, Christopher Morley, and Evelyn Scott. The bulk of the material is in the Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. collection and is correspondence between Blanche Knopf and Cather. Over 200 letters between Cather and Knopf discuss Cather's work as well as exchanging personal information. Each of the other collections contains only one or two items of personal exchange and some are from Cather's secretary stating that Cather is on vacation and will respond when she returns.
