Title

Letter from Eleanor M. F. to Sister Aloyse Hessburg, undated

Description

A letter from Eleanor M. F., 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. The writer has included "an extra copy" (of a newspaper, presumably) "to send to relatives to show how you are making history." She disapproves of back zippers - because "One almost always needs a helper to close them" - but offers congratulations and says "The dress was very lovely."
