http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/48927587

In a letter 1934 January 7, Glasgow writes that she is "collecting gems of Marxian criticism" and wants his comment on "venality of the soul." In a letter [1937] comments on a possible brochure by Earl H. Emmons made from one of her articles. In a letter 1941 October 7, Glasgow describes the Maine scenery commenting "If only--only--only beauty were enough! But pain is sharper, and I am seldom without pain." In a letter 1945 August 22, writes that her long illness has prevented writing, commiserates with his wife's suffering, and comments that the war has "put all artistic impulses into a long sleep, or into a trance of futility" and that she needs "a renewed faith iand interrest in the craft of writing. Can you keep this through all the horrors of war and the disappointments of peace.?" In an undated note she invites him to visit and says she has been unable to get in touch with Joseph Hergesheimer.
