Mrs Stanford Dear Madam,

Last spring I had some conversation with your late husband, regarding a very valuable collection of books I wished him to buy for your college. It is the work of Napoleon the 1st giving a full description, with many colored plates, of every thing he discovered in Egypt; there are 23 Volumes, some very large, the binding of one or two is slightly damaged, but I prefered to keep the original binding. It was published by himself, and given to his friends (only a limited number were printed). I bought it years ago as a great prize, and would not sell it now only I have no place for it. I have moved from

Washington D. C.

My dear Mrs. Stanford,

I have watched with interest the final decision about the large law suit and by the papers I see you are the winner.

I wish to tell you

how delighted I am that this is so. I have read announcements, occasionally, of your having been in town and I sincerely hope that when you come again I may have the pleasure of calling upon you. Mother joins me in best

wishes for your health and success with the University and all the good works in which you are interested.

With {reserved ?} congratulations and love, I am,

Sincerely, Bertha K. Aukam 1919 K Street

A sympathetic thought from a friend, on this the first anniversary of your loss.
