conversation, and have you
read to me those delightful
passages. (I never fail to read
each day a portion of the dear
little book you gave me).

I am afraid I neglected
to inform my son Fred
and Ida, of your presence
in New York. You may
forgive me but I am
afraid they will not. I really
thought I had written, but
Nell tells me they did not
know you were there.

I will be entirely settled when
you return here and am
hoping to see much of you
my dear Mrs Stanford

God bless and keep you
is my sincere prayer
