Dear Mrs Stanford.

Mourn not for the Great Man His Soul is in Paradise. A great & good man has quietly pased [sic] from this Mundane Life to the Spiritual one, a noted philanthropist, lover of mankind doing good to the Human Family in this life, a great and true friend.

Why should we mourn; his great spirit would say to you he loved so much; and all his true friends, mourn not, I am happy and would have You and all my true friends know it for I am in the Spirit Land.

His Spirit is a great one and he will lead there as here. All good Spirits will hover around him and bless Him; as those who knew him here as we did. His beautifull [sic] life was laid at rest without a struggle, not even the move of a leaf, what a happy thought. God will bless such these as such are blessed here. Mourn not is the prayer of

Truly Yours

My Dear Madam:

If I am not intruding upon your sacred grief in which a nation joins, I beg of you to accept the enclosed few lines from one who truly sympathises with you in your bitter sorrow, and who for years has suffered much from being misunderstood and wrongly judged for motives just as pure and true as those which prompt me now to send you these lines

If they bring as much comfort and help to you in your great affliction as they have brought pleasure to me in penning them I shall be amply repaid for sending them.

Sincerely yours

Harry O. Hall,

Metropolitan M.E.Ch.
