Ella B. Washington to Margaret Sweat

Containers:
Box 95
Creator:
Washington, Ella Bassett, 1834-1898
Scope and content:

A.L.S. Charlestown, West Virginia. Ladies of MVLA invited to Yorktown Festival but at their own expense. She considers it, therefore, "an empty compliment." Mr. Corcoran gave Mrs. Garfield $5000 and she feels he could have paid for the Ladies' trip to Yorktown or a gift to the MVLA endowment fund. Despite this seeming affront to the Association, she hopes the Ladies will have a reception at Mount Vernon for the French delegation coming over for the Festival.
