To whom it may concern:
Miss Kathleen Farmer taught Latin, English and History during the year which has just closed and achieved some very good results. She has always been devoted, painstaking, conscientious and faithful to the last degree and she does not spare herself. Miss Farmer perseveres and demonstrates rare strength of character and determination. By training and temperament she impresses me as being especially equipped for the more mature student.
Very sincerely,
John Lind
