<br /><br />
Dear Mr. Campbell:<br /><br />
I have just finished reading Brother to a Dragonfly. I cannot tell you how moved I am by its beauty and its truth. Only those of us who grew up and lived in this area can attest to its truthfulness. The book recalled the past very vividly. Being from mississippi I had followed your experience and later events at Ole Miss with great interest and sympathy. I had read P.D. East’s Petal Papers, recognized his courage, but did not know its final chapter. I can’t remember what he called Jim Eastland, but it was good. <br /><br />
Your book blesses and judges the efforts of all of us, however small, during these trying decades through which we are still moving. My sister, Mary Frances Lacey, tried very hard wherever she found herself with the YWCA. She admired you greatly. Those of us in even more obscure places tried, probably not hard enough, but paid a price and reaped a reward. Thank you for putting the picture in perspective and at the same time for telling such a true story of brother’s love for brother. <br /><br />
The evolving of your religious convictions is fascinating and provokes me to search my own soul. I hope you can do as much for Presbyterians in Montreat in July-August. <br /><br />
Literacy critics, I hope, will do justice to your lovely book. More learned scholars will know better what to say than I. I can only say thank you for a job well done. I can hardly wait for my very grown children to read BROTHER TO A DRAGONFLY. <br /><br />
Sincerely, <br /><br />
Bernice Lacey Hannah<br /><br />
I truly am a better accountant than a typist. <br />

<br /><br />
My dear Mr. Campbell,<br /><br />
I have just finished reading your autobiography, Brother to a Dragonfly which is by far one of the finest pieces of writing that I have read in a very long time. When I was around half way through the book and realized just how fine it was I ordered a number of copies to give to friend all of whom have appreciated it just about as much as I have. It is an extraordinary piece of writing. Perhaps the highest compliment I can pay you is to say that while I was reading the book my mind was constantly drawn back to other lives and other books, particularly those of Thomas Merton and Julius Lester, men whom you have known. <br /><br />
I write simply to thank you for the book and for the life that is reflected in that book. My sixteen year old son is now reading the book and when he is finished I shall reread it. It is that kind of literature. <br /><br />
We thank you. As Julius says: All is Well. God bless. <br /><br />
Respectfully, <br /><br />
Charles E. Kinzie<br />
