I absolutely agree, Charles. When I was looking for it, I never got any satisfactory information on the whereabouts of Mary Ferrell's stuff.
Right now, the papers of the early critics are scattered -- on a venture capitalist's estate, at Hood, at Baylor, and in a handful of private collections I'm aware of. I have a few irreplaceable things myself. I have this vision -- a total flight of fancy, a pipe dream -- of it all being centralized. Saving it from the ravages of time and improper care are of greater importance.
