| Description |
English: Bertha Ethel (Knight) Landes (1868-1943) was the first female mayor of a major American city, serving as mayor of Seattle from 1926 to 1928. Landes vowed to clean up city government, running for mayor on the platform of "municipal housekeeping." She served only one term as mayor but remained a civic leader in such organizations as the Women's University Club, the Women's Century Club, the League of Women Voters, and the Women's Auxiliary of University Congregational Church.
The letter pictured here, on Ms. Landes' personal stationary, was written on March 15, 1926, expressing gratitude for assistance in her successful mayoral campaign.
