O'Conner letter to Maryat Lee

I found a great excerpt from one of O'Connor's letters that deals with writing about other people/cultures. In her letter to Maryat Lee (pg 1094-95), O'Connor talks about her friend who is attempting to write a novel about blacks in New York. This little portion reminded me of "The Enduring Chill". Porter refers to her friend searching for blacks to interview, and notes that maybe they can "scout up a few" if he comes back to New York.
