My very dear Mrs. Stanford

I have given my dear friend, the Rt. Rev. Rector of the Catholic University of America, Bishop Keane, a letter of introduction to you, as he desires the gratification of meeting you while in California.

Yet, it is

[left side]

in a measure, a work of supererogation, to formally introduce to each other, two persons, whose mission is so pre-eminently connected with higher education.

I trust my dear Mrs. Stanford, that the New Year, may bring you the realization of your cherished and noble plans, for humanity;

and that your health may be equal to the heavy burden you have to meet.

And I am ever with sincere affection yours,

Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren.

My very dear Mrs. Stanford

Kindly accept as a Christmas greeting, some of my books, which I have just expressed to you.

If they should fill any lonely or weary hours, it would be a gratification to me.

The approaching sacred festival of Christmas, that fills so many hearts with joy, has so many sad associations where the heart is lonely.

Trusting that you are well dear Mrs. Stanford, and with affectionate regards

I am sincerely yours

Madeleine Vinton Dahlgren
