An Endorsement of Marian Anderson On Tour

I am writing this memo to highly endorse the Marian Historical Society. Their performances for Millersville University and the local community were inspiring and very educational. The quality of the musical performances were exceptional and reflect positively on the heritage and tutelage of Ms. Anderson. The audience was enthralled and the presentation were interactive. Your group has my highest recommendation.

Sincerely,
