My dear friend, my
dear Mrs Stanford,

I have just now
finished reading
that wonderful last
paper of your dear
husband. My Jesse
sent it to me from
California "saying
we can when we
read this paper,
realize what a great
loss we have met

with here. "The dear
Senator was a phil-
osopher as well as a
lovely man." And
what a magnificent
paper it is. My dear
Mrs Stanford So
thorough, so broad
and comprehensive.
I wish I had known
him better.

Do you know another
of my, of the Generals
friends has gone to
join the great majority
Yes dear Mr Drexel
