My dear Mrs Stanford

My little son of twelve and I deeply sympathize with you in your sad bereavement.

Your beloved husband's greatest gift was that to the children and youth of California and the World, prompted by the loss of your dear boy. "He is not dead but sleepeth." You have the sincere love and sympathy of all good people.

That God may sustain you in this trying hour is the desire of you

Sincere friends

you expressed in your letter to me, and grateful that upon you had been bestowed work to do in carrying on plans which from their very beginning, gave to the world a glimpse of the close companionship and sympathy which existed in your home life.

May it comfort you now in these dark days aft[er] your irreparable loss to feel that the influence

of that home and spiritual life with its results have gone and will go into into many homes! -

I have suffered and know how cold written words seem in comparison with the feelings which sings through a torn and bleeding heart but I longed to say some word of comfort and affection that you might know we were cherishing memories and reaching out to you with a desire

We have been with you in thought and deep sympathy: wishing we could quietly be by your side, to show you how terribly we feel for you.

May you be sustained and comforted, enabled to say "Make Thy ways mine" while looking forward to the glorious re-union.
