    2. I'm running a xerox copy of Miss Jessie Ullrey's photo and snail mailing it to you. As to the letter on pp 54-55: "To McPherson College, McPherson, Kansas Chicago Ill., July 25, 1905 "Gentlemen: "I desire to commend Miss Jessie A Ullrey as a TEACHER OF ELOCUTION and English literature. Miss Ullrey is a well poised, reliable young woman of strong character, thorough training, attractive personality and genial, helpful disposition. As a teacher she is discerning, thorough and enthusiastic. She has the power of leadership, and will win the thorough respect of her pupils and everyone associated with her. "Miss Ullrey is also a very attractive and entertaining reader. With a bright, expressive face, graceful presence, genial, pleasant manner, and a well modulated, flexible voice, she commands the attention of her audience the moment she comes before them and holds their interest to the close. She especially excels in the interpretation of the beautiful and of certain varieties of humor. "I congratulate anyone who is so fortunate as to secure her services either as teacher or reader. "MARY A BLOOD, President Columbia College of Expression, Steinway Hall, Chicago." (I have a scanner but don't know how to scan. I am in need of a knowledgable 12-year-old.) Jan
