Mast[e]r of us all where he is free from all the sore limitations that the flesh has put upon him these last many years -

But oh my dear Mrs Stanford, I cannot bear to think how lonely you are. You hav no idea how much I wish I could come in and try to

help you bear your sorrow. I wish I could take the journey and go to you, if it would help you any - because I loved him, and I love you. But after all what could I do if I was there, except to tell you that the dear Lord loves you and sees all your

arms will be under you and He will give you His own peace.

I want very much to hear how you are, for I am afraid you are ill. I shall be at home in a few days now, and I hope some day you will feel like writing to me, for you don't know how

muc[h] I want t[o] hear You do not need to be told either, I know, how sorrowful I am for myself, nor how truly I feel it is the loss of a friend. I am so glad you have little Jennie to occupy your mind, and that you know it was such a pleasure

to Mr. Stanford to have her about. I am sure he is glad that you have her.

With more love and sympathy than I can tell, I am

Your loving friend

Anna L. Dawes
