Title: Broadside from James Southgate, July 1, 1881
Author: James Southgate
Date: 18810701
Note: In an effort to help his daughter obtain a teaching position, James Southgate distributes a broadside describing Lessie Muse Southgate's qualifications in vocal and instrumental music. The broadside gives an overview of Lessie's education at the Wesleyan Female Institute in Staunton, Virginia and the Grand Conservatory of Music in New York. Mr. Southgate gives Professor Ernst Eberhard of the Grand Conservatory and E. Louis Ide of the Wesleyan Female Institute as references. The broadside notes that Lessie is a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, but is willing to work as music instructor for any denomination.
