Letter from President Theodore Roosevelt about Cecelia P. Dulin, June 15, 1908.

It reads:

The White House, Washington

June 15, 1908

To whom it may concern:

Miss Cecelia P. Dulin has been a teacher in the Force School in the class which our son Quentin has attended, and Mrs. Roosevelt and I desire to express our very high appreciation of Miss Dulin's tact, knowledge and capacity as a teacher. While winning her pupils' affections she yet kept discipline over them and they studied hard while at the same time being devoted to her. Not only do I believe that she would make an excellent school teacher anywhere, but I feel it so strongly that if we needed a governess we should be very glad to have her in our house. We have abiding faith that she could do well in any employment she chose to try.

Theodore Roosevelt
