	Letter from Mollie Page to Mattie Logan Southgate, January 23, 1883 Mollie Page writes her friend Mattie Logan Southgate about an outbreak of scarlet fever at the Wesleyan Female Institute. After the principal William A. Harris informs his students of the disease, the young women flee school. Mollie describes the mass exodus of the girls as they sought refuge with their friends, relatives, and in the hotels in Charlottesville and Richmond, Virginia. Mollie reports that their friends Pattie, Cora, Cherry, Dean, and Eddie are safe but the fever took the life of Nannie Jordan. She relates her own story of illness while at the Wesleyan Female Institute, the visit of Dr. Henkle, and her subsequent recovery from dropsy at her home in Batesville, Virginia.
