Dear Tim and May

It was cheering to find letters from loved ones on our table when we sat down to our eggs and coffee this morning. We have been here a week last night and it has been a long dreary one to me I can assure you for the Doctor was kind in his effort to tell me he did not look forward to the cure as being of much benefit to my dear husband. I read it in his manner as well in words. I could not bear it I would once have cried out for help from loved ones on Earth but I have learned there is a

My sister remains the same as when I left Cal.

[end of letter, written at top of page] keep me connected with you by a letter occasionally. Mr Stanford read your letter with evident pleasure and said that is a good letter.

My dear friends May and Tim

It is needless for me to tell you how rejoiced I am that Mrs. Moses Hopkins remember you so tenderly. I feel sure the moral support to your case is far greater than the worth of the money although
