Dear friends,

If your readers are interested in Presidents' wives, you should note much about Mrs. Woodrow Wilson. She took over the government when her husband was felled by a double stroke, and ran the country quite well. She's a fascinating person, with an amazing background. She was a direct descendant of Pocahontas, and I do not jest. See her well-written reminiscences, titled "My Memoir."
