Postcard with a picture of Dr. Maude Abbott. A note is addressed to Tom Reynolds, at Canada Post Stamp Products, asking him to create a stamp in honour of Maude Abbott:

Dear Mr. Reynolds,

Maude Abbott (1869-1940) was a pediatric-cardiologist and pathologist, who coordinated the western world’s knowledge of cardiology.

A stamp would be a suitable tribute. A series on medical women would be appreciated.

Thank you for considering this request…

Federation of Medical Women.
