but ones sorrow is such a lonely
thing and a something that no one
can realy share but the great giver
of hope and comfort And just
being a believer dear Mrs Stanford
I pray that all the consolation that
our heavenly Father is able to give
his children in their deepest greifs
may be given you and owing to
the great distance I am from you
I may be among the last to offer
my sympathy [it overstrike] May I hope
it will not seem the least sincere
For from the depths of my heart
I feel for you with all that feeling
that can come from a woman
whom the pains of great sorrow
have passed over. My daughter
joins with me in affectionate greetings
& sincere sympathy,

Yours Most Cordially,
