Papers of Mary Johnston, 1913-1914.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/32959040

In two letters, 1913 November 7 and 10, Johnston writes to Ferris Greenslet re: unfavorable reviews of "Hagar" and her misgivings about offering "Rhoda Amidon" to Robert Sterling Yard for serialization in "Century"; mentions a book she wants to write on witches; sends a story outline for "The witch"; and suggests that "The witch" be offered to "Century" instead of "Rhoda Amidon." In correspondence, 1914 January 1-29, Johnston and Robert Sterling Yard discuss editorial changes in the serialization of "The witch" for "Century." These letters contain Johnston's defense of her work and her decision to withdraw the novel from consideration by the magazine.
