mH DOROTHY DAVENPORT STAFFORD 3 PORTER LANE JEKYLL ISLAND, GEORGIA 31520 July 7, 1977 Mrs. Rosalyn Carter The White House Washington, D. C. Dear Mrs. Carter: I am a free lance writer from Jekyll Island, Georgia, among my specialties articles on holiday entertaining, and I would welcome one of your holiday menus like Christmas or New Year's. For instance, do you serve the traditional Southern hog jowls, black-eyed peas and collard greens on New Year's Day, and will you follow this custom in the White House, or wherever you are spending January 1, 1978? In Georgia I have written for both the ATLANTA JOURNAL- CONSTITUTION SUNDAY MAGAZINE, and the SAVANNAH SUNDAY MAGAZINE. I have had a Christmas party article in SOUTHERN LIVING. Recently, I had the privilege of interviewing Mrs. Lillian Carter for MODERN MATURITY Magazine. I shall eppreciate SO much any holiday menu-you can send me, and those who read the article will be delighted. I congratulate you for your splendid leadership as the wife of the President of the United States. All women should be very proud. Very sincerely, Mrs. Sorothy Carl Stafford) stafford
