Dear Mrs Stanford -

Forgive me for in-
truding on your sorrow
with my little message
of sympathy. We have
all thought of you during
this trying time, and
know how hard it is to
submit to such a blow.
We have passed through
so much affliction our-
selves during the
past two years, that
our hearts bleed for you
in your loneliness-
would that I could
offer some word of
comfort, time only
can quiet that awful
heartache, though no
time can death us to
forget - that God may
give you strength to
bear your great sorrow
is the wish of

Your sincere friend
Julian Boardman
