Mrs. Leland Stanford

I trust these few lines of condolence will be received with kindness I have watched your husbands career with intense intrest and approbation.

His heart must have beat in unison with humanity or he never would have been so grandly generous. Mr. Stanford is the "shining light," among philanthropists of the present century. The world is poorer, since loosing so good a man.

I am sorry very sorry he has left you. You have my heart-felt sympathy in your bereave -ment.

I was a pupil of Miss Aikin's Seminary at the time your niece Libbie Stanford attended the same institute

Respectfully
