Mrs. Leland Stanford:

Dear Madam:

I have just been
informed of the death of Senator Stanford.

Accept my sincere sympathy in your
sad bereavement.

Dear friend:

In your hour of bereave-
ment try & take a little consolation in the
thought that there are worse things on earth
than death.

With respect & sympathy,

I remain

Yours truly,

Mrs. Thos. Blake

Mother of P. H Leland

Stanford Blake.
