dear Uncle Jimmie left us. It was so strange that you should have written just exactly what I was {hop-?} ing to have you, about coming east, etc. and about Auntie Dot's remaining in her house. (She was afraid she could not afford to live there, but she will tell you all about that when she writes) and I want you to know how full my heart is of loving gratefulness. Last night when I went up with Auntie Dot to go to bed, she said as she stood waiting for me to light the gas, "I keep thinking of that letter," & you see what you have done to ease her mind, and to lighten her heavy heart. Of course she is still in

[left side] a quandary as to who shall be her "companion," but we, I said before, if we only have patience some body suitable will be found. And while the {?} are {?} and very good, father is obliged to be away, it will not be so hard for us to stay with her at night, she does not mind so much being alone during the day. Please do not mention my having written to you at all, as it might make Auntie Dot feel badly, and wonder why I had not told her. Many of the noble thoughts in your recent letter have reconciled me to my (at present) burdened life, and I shall always love you and pray for your welfare here below. Very sincerely yours Harriet W.

My dear Mrs Stanford

God bless you! After writing to you at home yesterday I went back to Auntie Dot's and found her, oh, so happy and hopeful, and changed for the better in every respect.

re-read them until finally she learned them by heart. She received numerous notes and telegrams, but none touched and pacified her like yours, and of course by consoling her, you do a great deal for Mamma and me who sorrow with her so deeply. We have been with her constantly since our return from the country, five weeks before Uncle Jimmie left us, and we are so glad we could be there. He was so glad to see us and so relieved to know we were with Auntie Dot. It is needless to tell you how kind, patient and cou-

[left side] siderate, dear Uncle Jimmie was during his last illness, his true Christian character was displayed then, as it was during his entire former life and it was a blessed privilege and a sweet pleasure to be allowed to serve him. I have always loved and highly respected him and shall miss him more than words can tell, yet it fills me with joy, when I think he has gone from this world of pain and misery to that "Land above where all is love". Having had heart trouble for some time past, we look back now and realize how he suffered many times in calm silence always mindful of Auntie Dot's comfort. And now
