Envelope reads, "Miss Helen Tapper shows the Father of his Country may have assailed the cherry tree 2-22-21. Mills College celebration." Negative shows a woman in a George Washington costume complete with triangular hat and sword strapped to her side bent over near a tree, probably not a cherry tree, holding an axe in her hand ready to swing at the tree. In the background is one of the buildings on campus.
