My dear Mrs Stanford

How can I ever thank you for your dear gifts to me - Be assured I prize them far beyond my power to express. I shall hope to see you on Friday next - and shall then endeavor to say to you all my heart does feel -

Most sincerely and gratefully Anne B. Ramsey

114 Scott Street -

not divest myself of the feeling that he was with us there also - You certainly have a great deal to live for in carrying out this noble work - although it may look dark & dreary sometimes but there is light beyond.

Many thanks to you my friend for the enjoyment of this day - which will ever stand out by itself - & for the pass which has enabled us to see so much more of California than we otherwise would.

My dear Mrs Stanford

I regret exceedingly leaving California without seeing you again and believe me it has been one of the bright spots in life meeting you & renewing the old acquaintance of early years - for in seeing you it seems as though I had met Mr Stanford also & I wish it had been possible to have been here during his life.

the day at Palo Alto was perfect - I was glad indeed we waited for the bright beautiful day - We found the carriage waiting at the station & everything was all that could have been desired. Mr. Ramsey enjoyed the driver immensely & what shall I say of Mr. Hodges - he was as agreeable as it was possible for any one to be devoted his whole time to us & when we tried to excuse him - he said "he wished to carry out Mrs Stanfords directions" & would not leave us.

What a beautiful charming spot - & what a monument the University is - words cannot do justice to the subject. Why could not the one who planned it & loved it so been spared to enjoy it! We drove

We went to Monterey a day or two afterwards & I asked Miss Cotton to write you - which she did I suppose while we were gone. We have had a delightful time & I leave with this one regret but hope we may meet again upon Earth & should you ever have a desire to visit Port Washington rest assured we would be most happy to see you & welcome you to our home.

With kind regards to Mr. Lathrop & much love for yourself - yrs sincerely Feb 25th A Ramsey.
