She had tea with the President's Wife!

Beautiful Real Photo Postcard looking toward Baltimore's Washington Monument. But what's really exciting to me in this card is the text on the back! This traveling woman shook hands with President Roosevelt and had tea with Eleanor Roosevelt!

Was "to" cool at Niagara Falls, so I took a flying trip to Baltimore. Went over to Washington and shook hands with the Pres. I wasn't in the receiving line but I had tea with the President's wife. After sending so many cards to you I think you should send a letter to me. Miriam
