Signed Registration Card for a Hotel Stay in Athens TN in 1956

195610939Athens TN: Ingleside Motel 1956. Very good. FAULKNER William. Signed Registration Card for a Hotel Stay in Athens TN in 1956. Post-card sized registration card filled out in ink. Athens TN: Ingleside Motel 1956. Faulkner has written his full name along with "Oxford Miss" as his home and in the "Make of Car" field he has written: "Plymouth." The card is dated in pencil presumably by a hotel clerk "5/9/56" with a written rate of $6.00 the total with tax amounting to $6.18. Accompanying the registration card is a picture postcard of the "New Ingleside Motel" in Athens TN which was "completed in 1954"; the postcard is postmarked 1958; the implication is that this is where Faulkner may have stayed. In April 1956 Faulkner had travelled to Charlottesville with his wife Estelle to be with their daughter and her husband as they were expecting the birth of a son. During the early months of 1956 Faulkner had been hospitalized a few times with the side-effects of alcoholism and from Charlottesville had gone on to New York to consult a Dr. Ben Gilbert whom he knew there. During one of his visits to Dr. Gilbert Faulkner remarked regarding his drinking: "Never ask me why. I don't know the answer. If I did I wouldn't do it." - Joseph Blotner Faulkner: A Biography NY: Random House 1984 p. 621. Faulkner's daughter Jill gave birth to a boy on April 15 1956 and on May 8th Faulkner left Charlottesville for his home in Oxford Mississippi. In terms of driving time Athens TN is more or less equidistant between Charlottesville and Oxford and in 1956 the drive would have taken considerably longer than it would today. There is an Ingleside Motel in Athens now but it doesn't appear to be the same motel where Faulkner stayed its website noting that it has only been in service since 2019; it is possible the original motel was razed to construct the new one. In any case someone believed with some degree of plausibility that the New Ingleside Motel may have been where Faulkner spent the night of May 9th 1956. The registration card was framed at some point and is sunned on the front with some offsetting from a matt on the back; otherwise it is in good condition. [Ingleside Motel?] unknown
