Letters to Virginia Moore [manuscript], 1958-1959.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/647846157

While writer-in-residence at the University of Virginia, Porter writes about her hectic schedule that prevents a visit and mentions a request to speak to a local literary club for a small fee. Two letters written from Martha Jefferson Hospital, where Porter was hospitalized for pneumonia, thank Moore for gifts. A final letter discusses making up speaking engagements her illness forced her to postpone and mentions a stay at the English Dept. of Washington and Lee.
