May Whittle Moody

May Whittle Moody (March 20, 1870 - August 20, 1963), American composer, authentic, autographed vintage handwritten music quotation (AMQS), 7.75 x 5. An Illinois native and daughter of hymnist Daniel Whittle, Moody attended Dwight Moody’s Girl’s School in Northfield, Massachusetts. She went on to the Royal Academy of Music in London in 1890, where she would develop her vocal skills; in this way, she helped her father and husband, William R. Moody, with their evangelistic efforts. 

Extracted from the pages of a 1902 Autograph Calendar book recovered from Orange Memorial Hospital, New Jersey, Moody added the following musical quote, under the title, "Major Whittle," to a page with the printed date of May 24: "Moment by moment I'm kept in his love. Life from above. Looking to Jesus till Glory doth shine. Moment by moment O Lord. I am Thine. May Whittle Moody."

In fine condition, with overall light toning and a rough left edge from extraction.
