TLS, [1966] with Recipe for "Norman Sauce for Meat and Vegetables

  • SIGNED
By ANDERSON, Marian (1897-1993)
Typed letter, signed, on Anderson's personal letterhead. Addressed to the editors of the 1967 Raider, the yearbook of Cameron County High School, Emporium PA. Undated; original mailing envelope included, postmarked July 6, 1966. Faint paper-clip stains to envelope, else fine.

Presumably answering a solicitation for favorite recipes, the acclaimed African-American contralto sends along her instructions for making "Norman Sauce." Signed in full, "Marian Anderson" at conclusion. Anderson was born and attended high school in Philadelphia; her connection to Cameron County High School, in. the small town of Emporium in rural Northwest Pennsylvania, is unclear.
