Washington(CNN)Hillary Clinton wrote a letter to an 8-year-old girl who lost an election for class president, telling the young student that she knows "too well, it's not easy" to run for "a role that's only been sought by boys."
"While I know you may have been disappointed that you did not win President, I am so proud of you for deciding to run in the first place," Clinton wrote in her letter to Martha Kennedy Morales, a third grader at a Maryland private school.
"As I know too well, it's not easy when you stand up and put yourself in contention for a role that's only been sought by boys," Clinton wrote.
The Washington Post was the first to report on the letter, which Clinton spokesman Nick Merrill confirmed to CNN is authentic.
Clinton wrote that she heard about Martha's experience running for class president through her father's posts on Facebook about the election.
Martha told CNN in a phone interview on Sunday that she was "really excited" to receive Clinton's letter, dated December 6.
"It was really touching to know that Hillary Clinton herself sent me a letter," Martha told CNN. "That doesn't happen every day."
Martha had decided to run for class president, but lost by one vote to a male classmate in an election that took place two weeks ago. Martha did, however, become vice president.
"It's disappointing to figure out that you lost something that you fought for really hard and you put a lot of effort into it," she said in an interview alongside her father, Albert Morales, Sunday on "CNN Newsroom."
But she said she's happy being vice president: "I'm happy I get to be the tie-breaker when the House and the Senate can't agree on something."
In her letter to Martha, Clinton wrote,

Did she tell the 8 year old how to use deceitful, and illegal ways in order to guarantee she win next time? Maybe she should send her the phone number for Fusion GPS.
You got that right, on both counts.
Oh, a powerful Democratic Party insider. Who coulda thunk it?
I’m surprised Hillary didn’t advise a re-count and then send her best “harvesters” to assist.
Lol
Can she be anymore obsessed?
You said it... not me... ;)
Uh—me. Old family name. I love it.
No doubt, Hellary can come up with a couple of good “ballot harvesters” for Martha. It ain't over until the Dims’ ballot harvesters are through dragging bags of ballots in.
Hahahaha...
Stench is right!
Did she demand a recount? Did she find boxes of ballots in the broom closet? Did she demand that students in other grades be allowed to vote in her election?
I guess not.
Lemme guess...”young womyn,Trump and his maters in Russia are responsible.Your school should appoint a Special Prosecutor...”
Mein Kampaign...God,that’s funny!
Or run for class president against a girl who says she'll rat you out to Hillary if she loses...
Right off the bat she's telling a lie....but then again she is a Clinton. It's all they know.
