LETTER: Autograph letter signed, to Elinor.
On Teaching
Dix, Dorothea Lynde. Autograph letter signed, “D.L. Dix,” to “Elinor,” Newport, August 22, 1880; one leaf, three pages.
Dix writes about her travels up the East Coast to Newport, her lack of strength, and an excellent pupil. ”I left Washington the third week of July and have gradually been nearing Newport via Baltimore, Phila, Trenton, New York....” She has spent the last 10 days in the home of her friend and her “quiet family of three ... Since leaving Boston I have been a good part of the time indisposed, more disabled ... yet not calling myself positively an invalid....” She discusses a report about a student, “as a very excellent, faithful pupil” and continues to discuss the teacher. She asks her correspondent about a potential placement for a teacher who “may command higher classes of pupils.” She continues briefly before signing.
