Wow! Stanford had quite a busy Sunday! I'm not sure what he meant to say with his Latin/Greek statement, but it's possible he told Hanford about his feelings for Mary Leah (M.L.).

The lecturer he went to see with Mary Leah, Mr. Carveth Wells, was quite a famous fellow back in Stanford's day. He was primarily an explorer, but he was also a writer, and later in life, a TV show star. His obituary was published in the New York Times on February 17, 1957. He was 70 when he died of a heart attack. Below are some excerpts from that article.
