Title: Letter from Helen Hamilton Gardener to May Wright Sewall.
Description: Mrs. Gardner has received an invitation from Mrs. Sewall to participate in the World's Congress in Chicago. But her schedule is very tight so she is only able to spend one day in Indianapolis between Louisville and Toledo. She asks if it would be possible to come to the Sewall house for lunch in-between appointments so that they can talk about what might be needed from her. Helen H. Gardener was an author, an American suffragist and reformer. She was the first woman appointed to the U.S. Civil Service Commission, 1920, the highest federal position occupied by a woman up to that time.
