Dear Mrs. Stanford:

I don't know that I have any right to bother you with this matter at all, and if in doing so I make a misstep, I beg you to pardon me.
Perhaps you will remember one day when Miss Kraft and I had the pleasure of talking with you (about the time that the Woman's edition of the Daily Palo Alto came out) we mentioned Roble Hall and you told us then what qualities you thought the matron of that Hall ought to possess. Now it happens that Roble is without a matron and at the same time my own mother who is alone in Pueblo, Colorado, - my father has been dead for years, and I am an only child, - is getting lonesome for her
