Dear Mrs. Stanford

I hasten to congratulate you on the righteous decision just rendered by the Supreme Court - I always felt that the decision would be in your favor, but the certainty of it is now most cheering.

I trust a great burden is now removed from you and that no other great trouble will ever be yours to bear. Mrs. Dodge rejoices with me in your good news.

Sincerely,

H.L. Dodge
