board and room. I ask for that same salary.
If you decide in my favor I can come to take charge of the Hall
at once.

May I conclude by saying that I sincerely hope I may secure the
position. I met the girls of Roble Hall, and I feel that our
pleasant acquaintance may easily ripen into a friendship through which
I could exercise over them the kindly control which is wanted in
Roble. I have been a mother to my own girl long enough to know what
the duties of motherhood are; no matron of Roble I should consider
that for the time I stood in the place of the mothers of the girls
under me. I should consider it my duty and my privilege to look to
their comfort and their conduct, advise and guide them, at the same
time bearing well in mind that Stanford allows its girls all the
liberty that is compatible with true womanliness. I should endeavor
never to chafe my girls with undue interference.

Trusting, then, to hear favorably from you in regard to this
matter, I am,

Very respectfully,
(Mrs) H. E. Wright
