Dearest Mrs Stanford

My heart goes out to you in your sudden grief & loneliness and I shall think of you many many times as the days go by and you are still alone.

It seemed to me that

you and Senator Stanford had so much to live for to-gether and now it is left for you to do so much alone but you have unusual strength and power. It has been given you by a Divine Mind - and I am sure that this precious gift will help you to bear this great blow.

God will bless and comfort you - for he is not dead only gone before and is even now with that dear boy who has been a bright star in so many
