!REFERENCE: 1958-1963 The Flannery O’Connor Collection, "Rebekah Poller is mentioned by O’Connor in several letters to others as her “friend in Schenectady, NY.”Poller and her husband contacted O'Connor frequently while visiting their own family in Milledgeville, and the two women were mutual acquaintances of Granville Hicks. The Poller folder contains ten letters from O’Connor dated April 1958 to December 1963. Topics discussed include a trip O’Connor intended to make to New York City, life at Andalusia, people they both know, O’Connor’s driving lessons, their mutual interest in swans, and information about O’Connor's friend Cecil Dawkins, who was living at Yaddo at the time. Also included is an acknowledgement card from Regina Cline O’Connor sent to Poller after O’Connor’s death. She states that her daughter was able to see the Pollers from her hospital bed when they came to visit her. In two other notes Regina Cline O'Connor thanks the Pollers for Christmas gifts. Another item found in this folder is a single undated letter from Mimi Johnson to Poller. Johnson attended GSCW at the same time as O’Connor, and in her letter to Poller she describes an afternoon visit she had with O’Connor at Andalusia. Poller’s file also contains a typescript copy of O’Connor’s speech entitled "The Fiction Writer and His Country", which she had delivered at GSCW. According to information provided in the file, the transcript was given to Poller to share with Granville Hicks at the time he was writing The Living Novel: A Symposium.", https://sites.google.com/site/postmarkedmilledgevi...e-state-university-1
