Mrs. Stanford.
Dear Madam,

Years ago
I read an article in a
Magazine "How a Boy built
a College." It was the
story of your own little
boy. The Magazine
also had his picture, and
from the time I first
looked on his sweet young
face till now, I have
read with great interest
all that is reported of
your benevolences. And I
am sure you do much
aside from these, and I
write to ask if you can
do us the very great favor
