enthusiasm enlists others to feel and know and help with the work, but I feel it my duty to again use my influence with you to do less, please do not try to take the burdens of so many others upon yourself. Don't be overpursuaded to help outside charities. Your body is too precious to be worn out in going on the various errands you are solicited to do. Your soul needs to be preserved here with us for many years to come, and the tabernacle it inhabits

When Mr Towne parted with us at Oakland I gave him instructions to be sure and send you and your daughter passes that you might run away in any direction often and get rest and refreshment for your mind. You were so much benefitted by your trip away last fall. He will send the pass when the new ones are issued the first of Jan/88

this I send my best wishes for yourself and your daughther and let our mutual prayers ascend to the Throne of our Father God for our loved ones in the life beyond and for each other here. ever your friend Jane L. Stanford

in regard to your ability to say something on the subject, so I might have said, but I think if you could send on to the ladies, to be read before them, an article, in regard to the work being done, in San Francisco, it will give them much pleasure.

Yours, with friendly greetings Jane L. Stanford

Mrs Cooper My very dear and highly prized friend.

Dont think for a moment that I have not appreciated your dear letters and your efforts to find me at home. We have remained at our City home but one night. All our thoughts and all our time that could be taken from dentistry and office work has been given to work that demanded our immediate attention here. I fear it will seem like a dream that we have been

leader, friend and comforter I do not seek for new friends now, but I treasure many of the past, but none more than you. I shall try and fix upon an evening while I am in the City while Mr Stanford is at Vina for you to come see me.

Remember me most kindly to your precious child.

With love ever from Jane L. Stanford
