My dear Mrs Stanford

It is with deep
regret I learn this
morning of your
sisters death,--
knowing as I do how
you will grieve
for her.

I think of you
often and wish
I were with you
to listen again to

[left page]

your earnest words
of kindness and
wisdom I feel that
I ought and want
to be near you but
fate seems to order
it otherwise and
we hardly ever
meet now.

I hope you are
well and the
senator your dear
husband I hope
is quite well again

I am well now,
