Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
This collection documents the relationship between novelist and priest. It consists mainly of brief letters. Eighteen of these were from Percy to Romagosa-the first was written in 1972; the others were written between 1982 and 1989. The collection's remaining eighteen letters also derive from the Percy-Romagosa relationship. Correspondents include Robert Coles, the psychiatrist and writer; Shelby Foote, the historian and novelist who was Percy's lifelong friend; and Jay Tolson, a Percy biographer.
