Correspondence (outgoing), 1896 Mar 18-31

he settled, and with the settlement came anxieties and burdens far beyond a woman's ability to bear, were it not for the belief I have that my precious Saviour knows it all and is tenderly guiding and leading me to do that which is best in His sight. I am only an humble instrument and I need the prayers of those who are interested in me, and I humbly ask that you and your dear

husband will join your prayers wth mine that I may do wisely and well.

Accept my gratitude for your tender interest. I prize it more than I can espress.

You have come into my life never to go out of it, and will you kindly remember me to Mr Whiting and her daughters when you see them again. They too were kind when my heart was sick and sore, and I still am grateful to them.

Mrs. Leland Stanford

Ellen Thompson Roble Hall Valued friend:-

I value more than I can express the emplathy the tender thoughts and the sustaining words which you and the many students have given me since the decision of the suit. Please allow me to disclaim any honor, anoy victory for myself. My one prayer has been throughout the tedious waiting that God in His great goodness would be the Supreme judge, that He would unite heaven

with Earth to bring about the justification of my husband's life work and that justice should be administered in such an emphatic manner by all the different Courts that there should not be left the least shadow of a doubt as to the high, ennobling nature of my husband's intentions. It has also been my prayer that his life, his character and his name could be placed before the students, both male and female, of the University, as an ideal

worthy of living up to. He was a Christian in the truest sense of the word. He was not a believer in creeds nor the dogmatism of the Church at large, but he was a sincere and honest believer in God and in His son, Jesus Christ. He also believed that the good deeds on earth build up our dwelling place in Heaven, and our misdeeds would tear it down again and this righteous decision has left to the University
