Keith wrote the letter from her family's summer cabin "Pennyroyal" located in a Catskills artist colony (Onteora) in Greene County, New York. The note compliments Beamer's daughter Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980) on her acting and dancing abilities and expresses Keith's belief in her talents. Dora Wheeler Keith and her husband, New York lawyer and reformer Boudinot Keith (1859-1925) were Hazel Beamer's hosts and guardians in New York City, where Hazel Beamer attended college and performed as a dancer before she married.</dc:description><dc:format>application/pdf</dc:format><dc:language>eng</dc:language><dc:rights>http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-US/1.0/</dc:rights><dc:subject>Keith, Dora Wheeler, 1856-1940--Correspondence</dc:subject><dc:subject>Beamer, Bessie Baker, 1864-1955--Correspondence</dc:subject><dc:subject>Cutler, Hazel Beamer, 1901-1980</dc:subject><dc:subject>Dance--New York (State)--New York</dc:subject><dc:subject>Dancers--New York (State)--New York</dc:subject><dc:title>Letter, to Bessie Beamer, Greene County, New York, [1920-1930?] September 6</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
