In 1975 high school junior Tom Yancy wrote a paper on a novel by Eudora Welty and sent a letter to the author. Tom was from Bruce, Mississippi some three miles south of a hamlet in Calhoun County named Banner. Eudora graciously responded.
A Southern Gallimaufry
A part of your brother Tom’s legacy…a letter from a well known writer to a fledgling writer of sorts.
Tom was a fine, fine writer.
thanks for posting this. I went & shared it on Facebook, i loved it so much.
I loved seeing this – I live on Pinehurst, my parents lived in Bruce for over 20 years, and I write about Eudora every Wednesday on my blog!
