My dear Mrs Stanford

Whilst reading
Doborah I often
thought of you, and
your recent visit to
that holy and
historic region

send you a copy
with my christmas

you will read it and

think of me when
you do.

The book you sent
me from Jerusalem
only reached me
about one hour
before I left New
York last summer
and I then requested
my son Ulysses to
keep the package
for me as Nellie
and I were en route
for Canada. I have
not yet seen the book
