Condition: Fine. A portrait of William L. Dawson, taken by P.H. Polk, during Dawson's tenure at the Tuskegee Institute, where he served in several capacities from 1931-1956. A note on the photograph states that the photograph was sent to Rolla (Foley), the director of music at Wilmington College. In the correspondence, Dawson writes to Foley explaining that a the spiritual "There is a Balm in Gilead" has been misidentified in their programming as White Spiritual: "This is a mistake," he writes, "This number is one of our most beloved Negro Folksongs." A response letter from Foley is included, in which he apologizes for the error and notes the correction. A fine photograph and illuminating bit of correspondence from Dawson, whose compositions and choral arrangements of spirituals are still performed widely.
