I mention this, because there is suc[h] a beautiful Providence in it. and I know that your christian appreciation, will love to see a place of Providence. It seems that Madam's great grand-mother, in the days of their affluence, among other good deeds, built an Ursuline Convent in Palestine.

How little did the good lady dream of that future when a great, great grand child, would on this account, in America, ^^be give[n] shelter to her poverty-stricke[n] descendent by the Ursulin[e] It is more beautiful than any poem, to trace the Providence of God -

the chain of events How far-reaching every act For this dear, I could envy you, that you will have so much to present, when the blessed Lord shall say, "show forth thy hands" -

Pray for me, and love me as one whose heart sympathises fully with yours, and believe me with faithful affection

Mrs. Leland Stanford, Palo Alto, Cal.

Dear Madam;

The Great Harvester gathers his crop when ripe, as do the husbaumen who till the soil.

The name of Leland Stanford remains, though his body be laid at rest.

Condolence is sympathy, but it cannot assuage the grief that comes by the loss of a near friend.

Those who knew the Senator feel that by his death a land-mark is removed.

Many, many mourn, and

royal family, to them.

I sincerely tender you that sympathy which cometh from human kindness, and on behalf of the King and myself please accept this expression of regard.

C. E. Dailey Com^r of King Tebureimoa

My dear Mrs Stanford,

It was with real regret that I received your cards when you left Washington for I wished to see yourself. I have felt a very deep interest in you ever since we first met. In any other city than Washington, I believe we might have become warm friends. I cannot let this hour of bereavement pass, without assuring you of my deep sympathy in you loneliness. I feel for you deeply and think of you daily.
