Dear Mrs. Stanford; -

The national reputation of your dear husband increased at every step of his public career. He has always devoted his clear, vigorous intellect to the thorough mastery of the important affairs of the nation since he was the beloved "War Governor of California."

In the Senate of the United States his bearing was unaffected, modest, combined with such rectitude of purpose

always your loving friend

without him; but the consciousness of your devotion; the life that you have lived together, always together, will be such a comfort to you, a blessed memory, that nothing can take away. The noble man has gone, but his life will not be forgotten, he lived to have purpose, and his marks live after him. With tenderest love and sympathy from Mr. Le Duc and myself,
