Letter from Mrs. Rachel Foster Avery to May Wright Sewall.
| Description: |
A note to Sewall during the planning of the Worlds Congress of Representative Women. Sewall is chairman of the Womans Committee, Avery is secretary. My restrained emotions must be allowed to vent, she sarcastically writes. I permit myself the extravagance of using a sheet of the Auxiliary Congress of Rep(robate) Women. Apparently the Lady Board is engaging in a struggle for power over the Congress. A very moving letter.Rachel Foster Avery was Corresponding Secretary of the National Woman Suffrage Association and later Recording Secretary then Auditor of the NAWSA. |
