My dear Mrs Stanford,

Though Tim tells me I must
not write yet still I
feel as if I could
not rest any longer
without writing you

love has gone out so
so sincerely since the
loss of your sister.

from Lydia to her "Auntie
Stanford

Your's affectionately

M. Th. Hopkins

Sept 2nd 92

P.S. Tim sends his best
wishes & love & hopes your
