Observations
This ties in perfectly with the previous mention of the “Red Devils” at Farmville State Teachers College! It looks like an invitation to a themed social—likely a costume party where the students were asked to dress “as a little girl.” The reference to “the Mission School” adds another layer to the history of these social gatherings.
Editor’s Note: Farmville State Teacher’s College could be a mistake. It could be referring to Fredericksburg State Teacher’s College. Click here to return to the Transcription homepage.
