Mr Joseph H. Choate Dear Sir.

The heat here is so very oppressive to us, we have decided to go tomorrow morning to the Manhatten [sic] Hotel Manhatten [sic] Beach.

Any day or hour you may wish to see me if you will telegraph to [crossed out Manhatten Hotel, the day and hour] me, I will return and see you at this Hotel. I am

exceedingly anxious to advance the setttling if my husband's Estate and get rid of the immense burden that weighs me down with anxiety.

I am comforted with the feeling that now you have the charge of final settlement the R.R. Co. will not endeavor to force me to do their will.

I hope and pray that you will soon give me cheering

news.

Yours respectfully and gratefully Jane L. Stanford
