God Fred Grant My [Masregon?] Saratoga N York

The long expected event of
of your fathers passage to this heavenly
home has [reverred?] and a whole nation
in appreciation of his whole worth and
great example mourners and sympathizers
with his family but Mrs. Stanford
and myself avoid to example our undivided sorrow
and sympathy to all the family
but particularly to your mother who
has the greatest job. Your father
has made this great gain of
Earth. The chief value this
mortal life is that it merits the
immortal one with a happiness beyond
our knowledge

Leland Stanford
