Letter from Robert J. Burdette to May Wright Sewall.
| Description: |
Burdette informs Sewall of the hours of service at his church and the music that will be sung. The music includes the battle hymns of France, Germany, Wales, and America. He hasnt been able to work in Dixie. I like Dixie - who on earth doesnt, but somehow Cinnamon seed and Sandy bottom doesnt lend itself to mighty themes.Robert J. Burdette was an American clergyman, humorist, and author who was perhaps best known for The Rise and Fall of the Moustache. He was the Pastor of Temple Baptist Church in Pasadena, California. |
