Dear Mrs Stanford.
Your Pastor & friend of the Olden times does not forget you now in this new time of sorrow and loss. The information that Mrs Beecher left us with like suddenness and in the same way (Aproplexy) on the 18th of February will give you assurance that I know better than some how to sympathise with you in your present bereavement.
Very affectionately Luther F. Beecher
