Monroe Woman Sends Quilt to President

Sometime ago Mrs. H. G. Glass, who resides on Davis Street, this city, told 
Chief of Police B. C. Dickinson that she had a quilt she wished to present to 
President Roosevelt.

Chief Dickinson commended the idea, and wrote a nice letter for Mrs. Glass to 
the President, stating that the quilt had been sent and expressing the hope 
that he might find it of service.

A few days ago Mrs. Glass received the following letter of acknowledgement 
from Grace Tully, Private Secretary to the President:

“My Dear Mrs. Glass:
It was kind indeed of you to send the President the quilt to which you refer 
in your letter of September 11th. He deeply appreciated your friendly thought 
in wanting him to have this product of your own work and I have pleasure in 
conveying his every good wish to you.”
Sincerely Yours,
Grace G. Tully

The Tribune is told that Mrs. Glass’ quilt was a lovely specimen and that she 
worked on it at odd times for two years or more.
