My dear Mrs Stanford:-

I cannot adequately express to you my deep sorrow at your great loss. Knowing as I personally did how good a man Senator Stanford was and what a kind heart he had, his death is a national calamity, and will be felt by the general poor and needy as deeply as by his personal friends. The last time I saw him we had a nice long chat about horses, and it was of great interest to me to listen to him, he was full of information and ideas upon the subject, and I was very gld [sic] to learn from him. I assure you that you have many friends whose hearts go out to you at this hour. Believe me my dear Mrs Stanford

Your sincere young friend

It is hard to understand, why, that prayer should not have been answered - and a useful life spared - but the Lord must have needed him for other works. And the completing of his earthly plans - are left to you - and I earnestly hope and pray, there will be comfort in keeping them but - I felt very nearly drawn to you that day at Palo Alto. We have had such severe
