Cazenovia. June. 25^th, 1893

My Beloved Friend: -

I am thinking of you all the time. I know you are leaning heavily on the arm of the blessed Saviour, who has been your Helper, Comforter, and Friend, and whom you so fondly trust and love. We had a sacred hour of Prayer in the little chapel of the old church, yesterday [aftermore?], and our prayers went up together for your comfort and strength - for your rest in the dear Lord.

We dined at Mrs Charles Fairchild's last evening, and many old Cazenovians, with the Seminary Professors were there - we talked much of you and the noble soul who is now in bliss. Miss Dows sent special messages of condolence. I am glad that dear Mr. Stanford's fine Portrait occupies the place of honor, right behind the pulpit, in the Seminary Chapel. It looks as if he would speak. Was it not beautiful in him, to have saved San Francisco from the crisis of peril as the last act of his noble life? In telegraphing the President, he did this. I speak in the Church to-day, and shall pay a eulogy to the dear departed. I can speak with a full and overflowing heart, my precious friend. Hattie joins me in a heart full of love and sympathy. I woke thinking of you, and of dear Mr. Stanford and darling Leland in Heaven, where dwell my beloved. Must affectionately & Gratefully yours Sarah B Cooper

is a happy release, And now to you is left the carrying out of his great plans for the benefit of the young people of the world at large. I well know that words cannot assuge [sic] our grief but I also know how sweet it is to know that our friends remember us in our day of sorrow.

Yours most kindly Julia A. Crocker.

With sincere Affection Mary Crocker
