remember dear Mrs Stanford, that of the very many whose sympathies are yours, none tender them more earnestly more sincerely than I, I who so admired and fully recognized the grand mental qualities of your Husband.

A regret I must always have, that one so Benevolent as Senator Stanford gave me, not one kind thought, and there is added regret that you - figuratively - have

"half its breathing moulds." If they, things of ignoble or of savage mood, endure and shrink not, we of nobler clay may temper it to bear - it "is but for a day." But I hope and pray "tho' sorrow's memory is a sorrow still" you will encourage recollections of those days most cherished by you, that again brighter than ever will be yours, and believe me, my heart in all save hope, the same sincere and sympathizing
