Scope and Contents
Russell J. Ryan's letter, dated July 21, 1948, advises Harold Sander, Indiana State Library, that the Freedom Train will be in Indianapolis on July 29 and 30, which is "such a brief period," that the bank will have an exhibit of enlarged photographs of those orignal documents in the main lobby during banking hours each day during the week of "Rededication of American Freedom."
