Curtis-Burlin, Natalie. Letter to George Foster Peabody, 16 October 1921.

Curtis wrote this letter to describe the speech she gave to a conference at the Sorbonne in Paris. Her speech was noteworthy for its defense of American folk music. She wrote this letter only a few days before she was struck and killed by an automobile on Rue Montparnasse.

This typescript was evidently prepared by Curtis's friend and benefactor, George Foster Peabody.
