Jane Lathrop Stanford Papers

Monday May 26th 91

Mrs. J.L. Stanford

Dear Madam I recd last evening the two btls of wine with grateful thanks to you and your good husband, and God bless you both.

Myself, the friars, priests and visitors will drink it to your health.

Since 30 years in Monterey this is the most liberal gift of wine I ever received.

My sincere thanks again

Respectfully yours

Monterey July 31-91

Mrs J.L. Stanford

Dear Madam I thank you for the keys of the Monument, and will take a special care of it. Yesterday I went to see the fence, and every thing is satisfactorily. Your much appreciated gift of the carpet is placed in the sanctuary, and looks rich before the font in the Tabernacle. May the Lord keep it on your account, and give you a place in Heaven.

By this mail I send you two "Monitors" where you will see some "marked" items, which I hope you will read.

Hoping the Governor is well. I remain respectfully Yours in X-

A D Casanova
