TranscriptLeft Slow Sunday; began packing for tomorrow’s trip to Washington.
Reception at Pink Palace, 6 to 8pm. Mayors Hackett & Morris, or rather their staff representatives, presented me with a Joint Proclamation declaring this to be “Shelby Foote Day” in Memphis, in recognition of my “works…whether of fiction or history,” etc. We drank mint juleps & were home by 8.30. Finished packing for early departure. |
