New additions to Carson McCullers archive
A trove of new Carson McCullers-related archives acquired by Columbus State University includes letters, telegrams, snapshots, tape recordings, birthday cards, menus and a bill for the pink roses that blanketed the author’s coffin and a dozen or so transcripts of McCullers’ therapy sessions with her former psychiatrist, Mary Mercer.

The Smith-McCullers House Museum is where Lula Carson Smith spent her formative years 10-17 and here she began to write, putting on shows in the two sitting rooms, using the sliding doors as curtains and drafting brother Lamar and sister Rita as actors on Tuesday, July 8, 2014, in Columbus. The family of author Carson McCullers moved to this house in 1927. CURTIS COMPTON / CCOMPTON@AJC.COM
