Dear Madam
Knowing your recent bitter experience the sorrow you have passed through Altho' time with its wonderful power of healing has healed my wounds, but the scars will always remain in my poor lonely heart.
Remembering how I used to prize anything that would speak of

of the bliss and peace that I knew my precious dead enjoyed. Hearing and reading of your Motherly and wifely devotion in life and death to your loved ones and seeing the resting place in our paper I thought you would like those verses.
Please accept them from a Sister in Christ Jesus

He rests: he rests Sweetly he rests For aye at home In home how blest? He rests.
He rests: he rests Beyond the pain Never to know unrest again He rests:
He rests: he rests In love aglow Captured again His own to know He rests.

He rests, he rests, In His embrace Whom here he served With quiet grace He rests.
Rest: loved ones rest Though dead still live And sweetness e'er To memory give Rest. rest.

Dear Mrs Stanford
On information of the sudden great loss of a Noble benefactor in your dear husband had cast a gloomy impression on us all, altho we have advocated in our daily prayers for his recovery, but now only dare say: the Almighty is Supreme. Who has deemed to take from amongst us a charitable warm heart, God's will be done.
