Mrs Stanford, after death of
husband + son. 1893
"accepting a sacred [trust?]" July.

Dear friend
Mrs. Harvey.

I am hardly
able to write as I
would like, but I
desire to hasten thanks
to you and your loved
ones for all you feel for
me. Alone! all alone!
My aching bleeding
heart, cries, but I look
afar and see the Joy
beyond in the Fairer
Land, Father and Son
together, Father at rest
from the toils of earth
