My dear Mrs. Stanford

I can not express the
sorrow we experienced in hearing of the
death of your beloved husband and
our kind friend.

You have our deep
sympathy and we grieve with you
in your affliction which is a general
calamity to society as Mr. Stanford
was a model man, and one whom
God had made the father of His
poor children

Sisters and children felt
his death keenly on account of the love
and gratitude we bear you and
our prayers ascend daily to God in
