Jane Lathrop Stanford Papers

By the sad death of MRS. JANE LATHROP STANFORD has come to the

STANFORD CLUB OF SAN FRANCISCO

a sorrow that is shared with the innumerable people who thus have lost a noble and beloved friend.

To some of us it was given to know both founders of the university, to join with them in the beginnings of the monument to their son, and, in the season of her second great affliction, to add our tribute of loving sympathy with the surviving founder. To most of us, she has been the chief source of the University, and the great object of its loyal affection.

During the years we were undergraduates she has dwelt among us, linking our loyalty more closely to herself and to

STANFORD UNIVERSITY.

She has sweetened our lives with many happy college memories, the influence of her devoted purpose shall remain with us and as an inspiration of lasting good.

President David S. Jordan, President of Stanford University, Stanford, Cal.

My dear Pres. Jordan:

Your letter of November 14th has been returned to me from the Philipines, containing two accounts against young Quiogue, and I have sent the same to my correspondent in Manila and have requested him to endeavor to collect the same and remit the money. On hearing from him I will communicate with you.

I am very deeply grieved at the death of Mrs. Stanford, and hope that the unfortunate rumors afloat will be found to be unfounded. I hope you will have a safe return from the trip you are now taking to Honolulu. Within a very short time I hope to have the pleasure of seeing you.

Very sincerely,

Aylett R. Cotton, Jr.
