Item
Item’s are ‘child’ level descriptions to ‘parent’ objects, (e.g. one page of a whole book).
-
Rebecca Gibbs Ashe (Mrs. Napoleon Bonaparte Ashe) was a self taught weaver living near Sylva, North Carolina. She made her first loom from wood donated by a neighbor on which she began weaving rugs. She did her own dyeing and created unique homespun which was popular with visitors, including Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt. By 1937 she had met Clementine Douglas and Allen Eaton who placed orders for fabric. This letter is missing its first and last pages. Page two begins with Ashe writing about the local people she has taught to help with her business. She describes her plans for building a weaving house closer to the highway. She ends with more details of her involvement with Mrs. Adams and how that person tricked several women out of their money.
