Carles bad

August 12th 89

My very dear Mrs
Stanford. I have
just received a
letter from Fred
inclosing [sic] your
note, saying how
ill you have been
and still are.

I knew you were
ill, for I have
been dreaming
and dreaming

[left side]

and feel sure
you would be
better for the
company of
one who loves
you as I do.

Hoping you are
well long before this

I am always
your loving
friend

Julia Dent Grant

(God bless you and
give you good health
