    March 15, 1932\u00a0 Frances Lavender to Glyn Morris
    \nDiscusses her commitment to annually pledge $5.00 to Pine Mountain School and asks for an accounting of donations to date. She inquires if H.H.

    March 22, 1932\u00a0 Glyn Morris to Frances Lavender
    \nMorris responds to Lavender’s request of accounting for donations to the School.\u00a0 Morris totals her contributions from 1919 until 1930 for a cumulative total of $85.00.

    \nMorris thanks Miss Lavender for another donation and graphically describes\u00a0a difficult child-birth\u00a0“down the creek” [Greasy” which resulted in a healthy baby and mother. He noted that the birth was to a mother of a very early\u00a0marriage which he notes are declining in the area. He says, “We are trying to make the lives of the children as full and pleasant that they will want to wait to undertake the responsibilities of marriage and families until they are better prepared for them.”<\/p>\n

    1935<\/p>\n

    July 16, 1935\u00a0 Frances Lavender to Pine Mountain Settlement School “Friends”
    \nMiss Lavender requests a second “song-book” of Pine Mountian ballads to replace the one she gave away. She sends a check of $5.50 to cover the book and the annual gift to the school. She asks if any of the ballads are set to music and if there is another book with music included which she would be pleased to pay for.<\/p>\n

    July 27, 1935\u00a0 Glyn Morris to Frances Lavender
    \nDirector Morris writes that he will send Lavender several copies of the ballad book and she need not pay for them. He refers her to     Loraine Wyman<\/a>‘s published book, Lonesome Tunes,<\/em> that contains many Pine Mountain ballads and their music. He notes that Mr. Brockway<\/a> “has taken a little liberty with the Lonesome Tunes<\/em>, but not too much.” He also recommends the collected ballads of Cecile Sharp<\/a> published by Novello Company and secured through Gray Company.<\/p>\n

    August 13, 1935\u00a0 Frances Lavender to Glyn Morris
    \nMiss Lavender thanks Glyn ‘Morris for the song books and the recommendations and sends him a check for $5.50 to cover the costs as well as her annual donation.<\/p>\n

    \nBenjamin thanks Miss Lavender for her donation of $6.00 and tells her that her letter to Pine Mountian was forwarded to her friend Evelyn Wells who shared the early years at the School with Frances Lavender. Benjamin shares that “These are, as you suggest, busy days at Pine Mountain. Monday saw the first attack upon our canning. And what an attack it was! All the help we could muster, workers, students, visitors, spent morning, afternoon, and evening ‘bustin’ beans’! Thirty-five bushels of beans were converted into more than three hundred two-quart jars full. But this is only the beginning! …we remind each other.”<\/p>\n

    1946<\/p>\n

    June 17, 1946, H.R.S. Benjamin to Mrs. Rex Truman [Frances Lavender]
    \nDirector Benjamin writes that Pine Mountain is grateful for Miss Lavender’s annual gift of $5.00.\u00a0 He notes that “This Spring sixteen seniors were graduated in a service which was very much their own. They wrote and gave a reading which set forth the history of freedoms in this country and suggested areas in which freedom has not yet been achieved. Listening. we were impressed by their understanding of the problems which face their generation.” Director Benjamin congratulates Frances Lavender, now Mrs. Rex Truman, on her recent marriage.<\/p>\n
