Christmas the Southwest and J. Frank Dobie
Van Nuys, California: Jack and Rosalie Renolds, 1956. Item #028939
4 pages. Printed on outside of folded double leaf uncut at top. Powell writes of the remarkable joy of giving as evinced in Dobie's gifts to the world of literature. "There was never a more locale-lving Texan than Dobie, and he is also one our best world citizens since Franklin and Jefferson." In Dobie's desire for giving, he asks for rain. These were years of a Texas drought where Dobie had written: "The drought has entered my soul. I can't go out to Cherry Springs any more and feel free; the springs are all drived up and the wild cerries and other trees dead and dying." A very beautiful appreciation for Dobie by one of the major writers on the world of the literature of Texas and the Southwest.
