- Description:
- Letter written by illustrator, portrait artist, and muralist Dora Wheeler Keith (1856-1940), dated July 9 (no year recorded), to Eva Elizabeth "Bessie" Baker Beamer (1864-1955). In the letter, Keith advises Mrs. Beamer on travel arrangements made by her daughter Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980) to visit her at her family's summer cabin located in a Catskills artist colony (Onteora) in Greene County, New York. Keith notes that there is a five-day window on mail delivery from Thomasville, Georgia, to Tannersville, New York, and advises sending a telegraph to confirm travel arrangements to avoid any missed connections. Keith also advises Hazel Beamer to bring warm clothes to prepare for the cold weather. 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.

Onteora Club. Tannersville N.Y. July 9th Dear Mrs Beamer I suppose Hazel has not yet returned but am beginning to worry for fear I dont get word in time to meet her in New York. It takes about five days from Thomasville here by mail, altho its only a few hours from New York. She thought she would be taking a Savannah fast + some where [a?t] the 12th in which case it is sures true I hearn as [?t??s] is to 9th + I have to go to New York the day before to be sure [wh?] on hand Of course sailing on the 12th the would [s??] to New York [it?] 15 with would after all just save time. Still she may not start as Early as the 12 What I am after is for her to be sure to let me know far Enough ahead so there will be no chance of missing her. She had better telegraph me here if there is any shortage of time Do not let her worry or hurry as [?] will make things right to fit her arrival, my best love to you all + Im hoping you are having a long summer. I hear good reports of the weather there It is too cool by far here Hazel must bring at least one set of warm clothes + her warm cloak. Yours affectionaly, [?oraw?] Keith
