favor of your dear Mrs Stanford
since you have to fill these
positions, and I feel sure
my boy can fill either
satisfactorily and by his
services return value received
and I am sure under such
circumstances, my son
will stand a good chance
of securing the position

I hope the snow storm
did not interrupt your
journey or comfort and
that you and the Senator
reached home in safety

Yours with love
Julia D Grant
