Description
This
1912
letter
was
written
by
Frances
Goodrich
for the
Woman's
Board
of
Home
Missions
of the
Presbyterian
Church
in the
U.S.A
.
Goodrich
first
came
to
western
North
Carolina
in
1892
as a
community
worker
employed
by this
mission
board
.
It
was
during
this
course
of
work
that she
began
working
with
weavers
and
initiating
a
craft
business
that would
bring
income
to
mountain
families
. This
type
of
letter
is
typical
of
ones
sent
in from the
mission
field
to the
Presbyterian
mission
board
,
who
in
turn
published
and
distributed
the
mission
letters
to
interested
parties
.
Although
Goodrich
probably
wrote
numerous
such
this
one
gives
a
rare
look
at the
work
of the
Allanstand
Cottage
Industries
,
including
its
shop
in
Asheville
and the
weavers
who
supplied
goods
for the
business
.
Mentioned
in the
letter
are
Elmeda
Walker
,
Mrs
.
Wesley
Angel
,
Cornelia
Angel
,
Mrs
.
Cumi
Woody
,
Mrs
