ANGELA MELVILLE Correspondence 1925-1929 are letters primarily between Melville and Evelyn K. Wells. During the period of this correspondence, Angela Melville<\/a> was the director of the Cooperative Bureau for Women Teachers in New York City. Evelyn K. Wells<\/a> was a secretary at the Pine Mountain Settlement School and had been since 1916. (She became the School’s interim director in 1931.) Their paths crossed when Melville was employed as a PMSS office organizer and fundraiser from 1916 to 1920. <\/span><\/p>\n

The later letters in this group indicate Melville’s plans to return to Pine Mountain due to the death of the School’s Co-Director Ethel de Long Zande<\/a>\u00a0in 1928. Melville was re-hired to serve as Associate Director of the Pine Mountain School for two years with full charge of the academic work,\u00a0<\/span>the office and the fiscal promotion of the School, all of which had been under the care of the late Mrs. Zande.<\/span>\u00a0Miss Katherine Pettit<\/a>\u00a0was to continue as Director.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following correspondence among Pettit, Zan<\/span>de, Wells and Melville provides not only PMSS updates but detailed insi<\/span>ght into their combined efforts to hire teaching and office staff.<\/span><\/p>\n
