Feb. 3rd 94 S. F. Timothy Hopkins My dear friend
I have just
returned after
two days absence
at Palo Alto. I find
your note awaiting
me and it fills
me with intense
anxiety - for dear
May has a firm
and close hold
on my heart strings
If she is spared
We will not mourn
Untitled Page 2
For the disappointment that the precious boy has gone to join the one who is now progressing in the Fair Land beyond. this world of sorrow. All day yesterday in spite of all I had to do dear May was in my thoughts and I sent a prayer to our blessed Saviour that
she might pass safety through her her delivery.
That there is One on whom we may lean and who hears our cries is a comfort to those who through sorrow seek Him -
I will do the only thing that is left me to do for dear May take her to my blessed Saviour and ask His blessing.
Yours truly
Jane L. Stanford
