My dear Mrs. Stanford:

Words fail me as I endeavor to express my appreciation of the magnificently testimonial of your friendship, which is to be so highly

esteemed, and although this note is but a poor expression of gratitude for such a rich gift I trust you will regard my sincerity as the sole measure of my gratefulness.

Believe me, Ever yours sincerely,
