Dear Mrs Stanford

Twice now I sat down to acknowledge receipt of your [ ?] most kind & beautifully worded letter of the 12th May, & twice have I risen up without doing so, intending to have first read the books you have been good enough to send me & upon which you set such store, little thinking that, when I came to write and

opened the prolonged suffering which, in many cases, adds on keenly to the grief of those whom are called upon to witness it.

May He who alone can give you comfort and strength in your great distress, sustain & keep you safe until he calls you, also, home.

& Believe me

Yours very sincerely

William Innis
