- Description:
- Letter written by illustrator, portrait artist, and muralist Dora Wheeler Keith (1856-1940), dated April 23 (no year recorded), to Eva Elizabeth "Bessie" Baker Beamer (1864-1955). In the letter, Keith notes that Mrs. Beamer's daughter, Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980) has been too busy to write, and assures her that Hazel Beamer's "throat trouble" is over. Keith reports that a friend asked Hazel to attend a commencement dance at the University of Virginia, which Keith and her husband thought Hazel would enjoy. 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.
