My dear Mrs. Stanford

If you knew with what
pleasure and sympathy
I listened last evening
to the reading of your sweet
kind letter to Mrs. Newman
and knew of all the kind
words said of you you
would be very happy in
deed. I was obliged to
retire before Mrs. Newman
left last evening, and was
not well enough to take
my usual Sunday drive
XXX to Riverside today

You see I am thinking of you,
of your goodness,
of your purity, of your
contentment, and am
so, so, glad it is so with
you, and hope you
and Senator Stanford
(my husbands friend)
are quite well and
I may have the pleasure
of seeing you both soon

And I will (do) hope that
at this moment you are
thinking of me

your friend

Julia D. Grant
