Correspondence, 1864-1951
|
|
This series contains correspondence that encourages Elizabeth M. S. Fite’s nascent
American National Opera Company as well as rejects it. In addition to items
specific to the project, there is also correspondence addressed to her in her
editorial role at The Circle and Success magazine. A small amount of material concerning the opera company is
addressed to Reginald De Koven and correspondents include George Whitefield
Chadwick, Fite, and Arthur Foote. Additionally, there are letters and documents
regarding Fite's family members as well as letters addressed to other individuals
whose connection to her is not clear. Several letters of literary rejection are
present, which may be related to Fite's work with the magazine. |

Arranged in three file units and alphabetically therein. |
