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 a great comfort and help. She also reports that Hazel Beamer will be dancing in a production called "The Convent Garden" organized by stage designer Ben Ali Haggin, III (1882-1951) and that her husband and brother have gone to chaperone Hazel Beamer. 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>Mothers and daughters--Georgia--Thomasville</dc:subject><dc:subject>Entertainers--New York (State)--New York</dc:subject><dc:subject>Haggin, Ben Ali, 1882-1951</dc:subject><dc:title>Letter, to Bessie Beamer, [1920-1930?] August 30</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
