Title

Letter to Sister Aloyse Hessburg, undated

Description

A letter from an unknown writer ("A Lynda Bird fan"), likely written in mid- to late December 1967, to Sister Aloyse Hessburg of Mount Mary College (Milwaukee, Wisconsin). The writer discusses the mother-of-the-groom dress that Sister Aloyse designed and created for Mrs. Frances Howard Robb for her son Charles Robb's wedding to Lynda Bird Johnson, daughter of President Lyndon B. Johnson, at the White House on December 9, 1967. While the dress was "just beautiful and very appropriate for the occasion," the writer took issue with the length, saying "I thought the dress was just a trifle too short."
