Mr. Robert G. Scharff
Dear Mr. Scharff:
Thank you	for your	interest	in the Mississippi Humanities	Council.	Your	history of Hancock
County sounds quite interesting.
Unfortunately, your project does not fall within our funding guidelines. We do not fund research, except as connected with one of our public programs; we do not fund individuals; we do not fund purchase of equipment or software; and we fund only bona fide scholars. I enclose a copy of our Guidelines for your information. If you have any further questions, please feel free to call or write me.
I regret	that we can be	of	no assistance to
you	and wish	you good	luck	in	finding funding
elsewhere.
Sincerely, Barbara Carpent
Room 508, 3825 Ridgewood Road, Jackson, MS 39211-6453 (601) 982-6752
