TLS on Harper & Row Letterhead signed "Cass" by Chairman, Harper Editorial Board, dated 1966 to Oliver Jensen, founder of American Heritage Publishing Company. Canfield expresses "delight" with Jensen's positive review of the book & promises to send it "...at once, to Moorehead." A positive review of a book by a publishing heavyweight is important to a book's financial success. Canfield is stroking both his author & publishing peer, at the same time.

He invested in Harper & Brothers and held various executive positions with Harper's in London and New York; among the writers whom he signed to Harper's contracts were James Thurber, E. B. White, J. B. Priestley, Harold Laski, John Gunther, and Julian Huxley. EM Delafield dedicated "The Provincial Lady Goes Further" to him. Canfield was president of Harper & Brothers and chairman of the executive committee. From 1967 until his death in 1986, he was House Senior Editor at Harper's."
