Letter from President Theodore Roosevelt about Cecelia P. Dulin
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
