Dear Mrs. Windom [Ellen T.],

That you should send your blessings to the Leland Stanford University has touched the innermost depths of my heart, and my heart dear friend is very tender, tender because of the bleeding and desolate condition it has been in for the past three years and because of the great burden of anxiety which rested upon me; tender now in gratitude to God

Dear Mrs. Stanford

What shall I say! How express this very painful sympathy in which my suffering heart goes out to yours!

Dear heart I know it all! This awful, the bewildering shock the lasting sorrow and loneliness! and because I know it all, I want to take your hand in mine and try to comfort you.

[left page] I pray that your soul may gain the heights and stand serene in the light of God.

"Blessed are the dead who die in" "their Lord. That they may rest from" "their labors and their works do" "follow them."

Perhaps I am writing too much and saying nothing that will help you, but at least you will know that I would soothe your pain if I could, and that one whom you have comforted prays for you. Truly your friend Ellen T. Windom

Mrs. William Windom. Brookline, Mass.
