Description

Letter from Peter Taylor, Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to Nadine Parker, Memphis, Tennessee, dated February 14, 1941. Notes he has been writing a lot so that letter writing is "nearly impossible". Asks Nadine to write about her daily life "so rich as it is in human relationships and cultural enterprise... I'm starving for the taste of sweet gossip, absurd argumentation, intimate Sunday-night suppers, carousing evenings in West Memphis, and an occasional whiff of the rare, rank odor of Memphis High Society. ‘Though I fly to Baton Rouge, still I am a Memphis stooge.’”
