cruel to her - the dear Doctor
idolized this precious gift
from God. I can only
pray for them that Our
Good Father who gave
them their children will in
His own way shed light peace,
and resignation to His will.

I remain here 'till
the 14th of Oct and then if I
continue well, I start for
Italy, staying a few weeks at
the largest cities, going as far
as Sorrento stopping a few days
at Castellamare where I passed
a week with my dear son in
1880. I will take a steamer
from Naples to go to Alexandria
en route to Egypt.

I have made two
visits to the Exposition. I take
it in small doses. There is much
that is chaff that we can
see in all Fairs. The Picture
gallery has a Portrait of Queen
Victoria that excells [sic] all else
in the great collection. I hope
you will try and see it.

Give my kind regards
to Mrs. and Miss Kohl.

To Tim and Lydia my
tender love - for yourself
dear May the same love
that I have felt for you.

Yours faithfully

Mrs. Leland Stanford
