Mignonette Violett Whelen praises President Roosevelt’s speech in Nashville to her friend Corinne Roosevelt Robinson. Whelen thinks the speech compares favorably to the 112th Psalm, and thinks the president is fulfilling God’s purposes in his pursuit of “righteous dealings.” Whelen is glad that Robinson’s brother is doing so well, and will visit with her soon.
