Card inserted between pages 22 and 23, presumably used by Minnie Schultz-Kelly to sell her book. Text of the card reads: "Excuse me for presenting myself by card, as I can neither hear nor talk--so from infancy. (A widow with two little girls.) I have here a biography of my life , look at it and see if you would like a copy. Mrs. M. M. Schultze-Kelly, 43 1/2 So. May St., Chicago, (3d floor.)"
