Robert Penn Warren Visits Paul Engle

When Robert Penn Warren visited Iowa City, he very often stayed with Paul Engle. In 1945, Warren wrote a letter to Engle at 1218 Friendly Avenue, discussing the visit he would soon make, and how much he was looking forward to staying at Engle’s home again. This letter can be viewed at Special Collections, in the UI Main Library.
