Description

Ella writes from Oxford, Mississippi, to Creekmore in Jackson, Mississippi, regarding news that Elizabeth Spencer gave her about Creekmore wanting to work at the University of Mississippi. Ella says that she spoke with Alton Bryant, chair of the Department of English, about the possibility for Creekmore to teach in the department. Bryant said he only had the ability to hire someone to teach freshman English, but Ella recommends that Creekmore writes to Bryant anyway to discuss the matter and suggests that he visit Oxford to see Pete Kyle McCarter. She sends her regards to Eudora Welty. Includes envelope.
