Hazel Heckman Correspondence with Murray Morgan

In 1947, Hazel enrolled in the legendary Murray Morgan's writing course at the College of Puget Sound. Thus began a long friendship in which Murray served as a coach, mentor, and advocate for Hazel's writing. As was typical in the days before email and texting, their friendship was reflected in the regular exchange of letters and occasional visits. Although Hazel almost certainly saved Murray's letters to her, they have not yet been found, but Murray's family has generously donated these carefully saved letters Hazel wrote to him. They richly document Hazel's literary career, the importance of Murray's mentorship, and her love for Anderson Island flora, fauna, community, and institutions.
Rick Anderson's Note: Many of these letters are dated simply in the format "Tuesday June 6" or similar. Identification of the year has been possible in most cases, although it was often necessary to approximate the year based on the context.
