My very dear young friends
Tim & May -

To tell you
how pleased I feel to know
you both give me kind
thoughts is a pleasant duty.
On our arrival here four
days ago a package met
my eye addresssed to me and
when the lovely Muchoir
Case and sweet note was
handed me I felt that
amid all the dark clouds
that surrounded us, there was
one with a silver lining.
Accept my tenderest love
for this token of love.

We came here from Rome
with our darling boy quite
ill. He had complained
while we were at Athens, and

to us well as he is. We had
fixed on the 3rd of April for
leaving Liverpool, but now
all will depend upon Lelands
state of health. We have
not given up the hope of leaving
at the time named. I have
heard through my brother of the
returne [sic] to Cal of dear Mrs Hopkins
and her kindness in taking
with her my sister. I am
surprised that she cared to go
when we were not there, to have
her with us.

I am pleased to know Mr
Mases has married, and
thank him for our cards telling
of the fact.

Mr Stanford joines [sic] me in
sending warmest friendship
for you both - and remember
us kindly to your dear Aunt -
Mrs. Hopkins - ever your friend

Jane L. Stanford
