Correspondence (outgoing), 1896 Mar 18-31

a sacred heritage to the students of the University, and as future generations may come & go they will read them and know of the tender womanly Christian heart which prompted them, and be an incentive to them to do likewise and be a benefit to poor suffering human souls.

I have hundreds to leave them filled with the milk of human kindness but none more

precious than yours. Extend my sincere thanks to dear Mrs. [Satoris?]

Yours gracefully, Mrs. Lelaned Stanford

Mrs. Wheeler. Highly prized friend. As my [?] read your valued letter to me this morning, I was touched to my innermost heart that you reserved a place in your memory for me, and that you trusted me and believed in me to such an extent as to permit me to look into your loving hearts and into your sweet sacred home life and allow me to share in your pleasures that come from

[I], to have him under our roof and within sight for nearly sixteen yers, it lacked but a few months, and each year as it passed we would say to [?] "is God going to permit us to keep him?" At last he was called to grace the Courts of Heaven; we bowed our heads in humility to the sacred decree from ever since my husband and I had been trying to learn, all we [?] of this beautiful country where he [lived?] and we have pleaded with god to give

us light and now I am living in the light, which God gave me. My husband was called to join this precious son. God saw fit to leave me here alone, and I bowed by head in submission for perhaps it would not have been as well for me to join my dear son and my husband, left here alone. I philosophise in this way and it conforts my heart to think my husband and son are together, enjoying the riches of heaven. They are walking the streets of paradise.
