In the letter, Keith lets Mrs. Beamer know how proud she is of her daughter Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980), noting that her hard work in dance will create a foundation for future success. Keith assures Mrs. Beamer that if she is patient, she will see that Hazel Beamer will succeed. Keith closes by expressing that her letters to her daughter are a comfort, and demonstrate proof of her love for her daughter. 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:subject>Mothers and daughters--Georgia--Thomasville</dc:subject><dc:title>Letter, New York, New York, to Bessie Beamer, 1921 November 13</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
