 | Letter from Mattie Logan Southgate to Delia H. Southgate, January 04, 1880 Mattie Southgate writes her mother Delia Haywood Wynne Southgate with news from her boarding school, Wesleyan Female Institute. Mattie celebrated Christmas with her sisters Annie Moore Southgate and Lessie Muse Southgate during the two-day school holiday provided by principal William A. Harris. The girls send their mother bills for instruction with their music teachers Lizzie Daniels, Anna Boyd and Professor Ide. In addition, they report that they must purchase more sheet music for their lessons, because their music is "out of style." Mattie provides news of an upcoming school performance and a defense of her progress in Miss Williams' history class. She closes with a request that her mother send a box with "cocoanut cake," preserves, mince pies, nuts, and ground peas. | |
