Dear Miss Stanford

I was shocked this morning on receipt of the early paper which gave me the news of your sad bereavement.

I beg to extend to you my deepest sympathy and all I can feel or say can give you no comfort for I know that your consolation rests entirely in the well founded hope that your dear husband is now enjoying the society of your lamented son whom you & he have so grieveously mourned so long.

Your dear husband rests forever from his labours which though unfinished have been herculian and well done.

Mr. Stanford was a great man kind husband a great thinker
