LETTER OF DEDICATION
[To Mrs. Grover Cleveland.]
MY DEAR MADAM:
Many bookmakers of that early Georgian period covered by this littlevolume eagerly sought to dignify their opening pages with the name andtitles of some high-placed patron or patroness.  It is not, my dearMadam, to revive this practice that I have asked permission to inscribethis little book to so worthy an occupant of the Presidential Mansion;but, rather, I have had in mind the courteous reception which—whileyet an inmate of a college on the beautiful banks of Cayuga Lake—youonce gave to some portions of the literary talk embodied in thesepages; and remembering, furthermore, the unswerving dignity, and theunabating womanly gentleness by which you have conquered and adornedthe trying conditions of a high career, I have wished to add myapplause (as I do now and here) for the grace and kindliness which haveennobled your life, and made us all proud of such an example ofAmerican womanhood.
Very respectfully yours,
      Dond. G. Mitchell.
Edgewood, June, 1895.
