wonderful works of our Creator.

I am here alone at Narragansett
with Mary. I expect Col Fred
and family for a few weeks,
then Nellie and her young
party. I have invited several
old friends from Washington
but they had all gone to their
places for the summer and
are too feeble to make another
move

I want you to know that
my thoughts are with you
to day will you think of me
July the twenty third?

I am always with love sincerely
your friend

Julia D. Grant

God bless and keep you my
dear Mrs Stanford
