to me - I am writing
this note to tell you
about baby's name -
Ever since I heard
you talk of your
dear son - the name
of "Leland" has been
especially sweet and
lovely to me - And
for months before the
little one was born
I said if I was blessed
with a son - I should
like to call him Leland
Stanford - My husband

The dear sweet letter
which you sent me

my little son - was
a very great pleasure
and comfort to me -
I can not tell you
dear Mrs Stanford how
much I appreciate
