Description
Photograph. "Music lessons are part of Jeanne's daily routine at the orphanage, which brings to bear on the little girls all the same influences that they would receive at home. The orphanage is now conducting a $750,000 fund appeal to construct a new building. The present historic 60-year old structure is crumbling and soon will become untenable." -- typed note attached to verso, dated for release 20 August 1950. "John R. MacFaden -- MAdison 6-3216" -- typed at head of note. "Aug 16 1950" -- stamped on verso.
