Scope and Content Information

William Alexander Percy, Greenville, Mississippi, to George Marion O'Donnell, Auburn, Alabama. Percy thanks O'Donnell for his complimentary letter concerning Percy's popularity in Alabama but says of his account "It sounded mighty like one of John Well's stories, which always have a foundation of fact with a gorgeous Gothic superstructure of pure imagination"; and wishes him good luck at Auburn. 1 p.
