Foreword
On November 15, 1918, the Indianapolis Women’s Club devoted its program to Indianapolis, the exercises being grouped under the title: “The Indianapolis Symphony.” In this harmonious enterprise, the first paper, entitled “Allegro,” was the one following, which is now rechristened, “Early Indianapolis.” The appropriateness of both titles, in their diverse connections, will be apparent to the reader.
Through quotations from the diary of her grandmother, Mrs. Calvin Fletcher, Mrs. Hodges presents a peculiarly intimate view of early life in Indianapolis, which occasioned an appeal for her consent to its publication in this form.
