Letter from Willa Cather, New York, to Laura Coombs Hills, 1942 December 29 : autograph manuscript signed.

Expressing joy at hearing from Hills; explaining that her hand has been injured by too much writing for the last ten months which is why she hasn't written; praising Hills's painting Hurricane (which has been reproduced in the newspaper) and how she is proud to be mentioned as one of its admirers; saying she misses her favorite niece who has moved to Colorado Springs with her husband, but hears from her every week; noting that she and Miss Lewis continue to share an apartment, but have no maid, so she gets no work done except in the kitchen.
