In the letter, Keith notifies Mrs. Beamer that her daughter Hazel Beamer (before she took the married surname of Cutler, and who lived from 1901-1980)  can't speak (possibly due to tonsillitis) and that a doctor is coming to visit. Hazel will not be permitted to get up until that Sunday (the letter was written Wednesday). Keith is optimistic that Hazel Beamer will recover. Keith also expresses regrets that earlier reports of Hazel Beamer's health sent by Hazel Beamer's boyfriend George (Schleich) might have alarmed Mrs. 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>Cutler, Hazel Beamer, 1901-1980--Health</dc:subject><dc:title>Letter, New York, New York, to Bessie Beamer, [1924?] May 7</dc:title><dc:type>Text</dc:type></oai_dc:dc>
